Inmate Dies at Florida Keys Jail of an Apparent Seizure

An inmate has died at a jail in the Florida Keys.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman Becky Herrin says 28-year-old Michael Gunderson was found having a seizure in his cell at the Stock Island jail late Friday. He was taken to Lower Keys Hospital, where he died early Saturday.

She said he had been arrested Tuesday after he was stopped for driving erratically. She said he was found in possession of heroin, cocaine and marijuana.

Herrin said Gunderson did not have a cellmate and no foul play is suspected. A Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation will be conducted.
