SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Medical Examiner's office confirms someone died at the Bexar County jail Saturday morning.
First responders were called to the booking section of the facility just before noon.
Local authorities confirmed medics were called to help a 66-year-old Curtis Smith, who had been found unresponsive, but efforts to revive him failed and he was pronounced dead just after noon.
Online jail records indicated that Smith was being booked for an assault case that dated back to September 2019.
Smith's file indicated that he was arrested on a charge of Assault Bodily Injury - Married, and was given a deferred adjudication deal in Oct. 2019. The file also showed a warrant was issued for Smith on August 4, with a notation indicating a motion to revoke his probation had been issued.
No additional details about the deceased have been released as of yet, including a final cause of death.
As is standard procedure, because of the Sandra Bland Act, a spokesman says Texas Rangers were notified and are conducting an investigation into the death.
Bexar County Sheriff's Office says the Texas Commission on Jail Standards has also been notified of this death.
