SAN ANTONIO -- Foul play is not suspected in the death of a Bexar County Jail inmate who died Saturday after being found unconscious, said Paul Berry, a sheriff's department spokesman.

The inmate identified as Antonio Obregon, 32, was found on the sixth-floor of the Bexar County Detention Center in the 200 block of Comal Street around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Obregon was taken to a local hospital, where he later died, Berry said.

Berry said the victim was found by himself and was bleeding, but no weapon or a suspicious substance was found nearby.

Inmates and other officers saw Obregon by himself before he was found unconscious, Berry said. The Medical Examiner’s Office had not determined a cause of death as of Sunday.

Way to go WOAI! Give just enough information for closed minded folks to make judgements. (ie: the two before me) "Berry said the victim was found by himself and was bleeding, but no weapon or a suspicious substance was found nearby." ...............OK, where was he bleeding" from? I will wait for more information before I even venture a guess much less a judgement on this one. The new Sheriff has only been in office for a month, please give her a chance before you start judging her!

Didn't we hear these cries of "mismanagement" from our new Sheriff last year when she was running for office. I don't believe she will ever get on the right track with the jail issues until she finds an new operations manager as Chief Deputy and gets a different Jail Administrator. I am not impressed with her management style or decision making. Same old story, nothing different!

It is amazing to me that every time someone dies in Bexar co. Jail it's never foul play...... Now that we have a new sheriff in town, I think she needs to start babysitting her detention officers! Time to re-evaluate some staff!!!!! Please remember this man has family and people who love him.... My thoughts and prayers are with his family!
