VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Authorities in Virginia are investigating the death of a man who passed away a few hours after he went to jail.
The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office said in a statement that 35-year-old Andrew Joseph Abram died early Wednesday at a local hospital.
A judge had denied him bond a few hours earlier after authorities said he violated the conditions of a probation program for first-time offenders.
The sheriff's office said Abram was uncooperative with officers and the jail's medical staff. They said he was taken to a hospital because of his behavior and out of concern for his health.
He arrived at the hospital at about 1 a.m. The sheriff's office said he died shortly before 4 a.m. despite "extensive live-saving efforts."
The statement said "no foul play is suspected."
