A 47-year-old Ramona man in San Diego County Sheriff's custody died at Scripps Mercy Hospital on Saturday.
On July 28, Jonathan McDowell was taken to the hospital after deputies found him unresponsive in his cell at George Bailey Detention Facility, according to SDCSD.

"We extend our sympathies to the McDowell family and those affected by his death. A Sheriff's Family Liaison Officer will support the family as they deal with the loss of a loved one," the sheriff's department said.
