BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has identified the 37-year-old inmate who died by suicide on Sunday.
The incident happened just before 10 a.m. Sunday, according to deputies.
BCSO: 37-year-old inmate dies of suicide, despite deputy’s intervention
A deputy discovered Julie Marie Alvarado in the midst of a suicide attempt and took quick action by using a cutting tool “designed for suicide attempts” and began lifesaving measures while also calling for assistance, the BCSO said.
Alvarado succumbed to her injuries at 10:38 a.m., officials said. She was in jail since Tuesday on charges of possession of a controlled substance and a theft of property charge from Wilson County.
The sheriff’s office said the deputy who intervened conducted more checks than what is required by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.
