A 38-year-old Ramona man was found dead in his bunk at a San Diego prison on Sunday.
Officers found Majid Arif Almajid unresponsive in his cell at the George Bailey Detention Center around 11:15 a.m., according to sheriff’s officials.
Deputies and jail medical staff attempted to resuscitate Almajid, as did paramedics, officials said.
Almajid was arrested Dec. 20 by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force on multiple counts of sexual abuse of a child 10 years of age or younger. He was booked into San Diego Central Jail and transferred six days later to the George Bailey Detention Center.
The medical examiner’s office will determine the cause and manner of Almajid’s death. The sheriff’s homicide unit was investigating.
