The Washoe County Sheriff's Office reported today that a 25-year-old inmate has passed away following a medical emergency that occurred on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 in the Detention Facility's infirmary.
The decedent has been identified as Keely Ann Darmody of Reno. She was booked into the Detention Facility on Thursday, August 18, 2016 for Contempt of Court after failing a court-ordered drug test. Due to concerns about her medical condition, she was placed in the Detention Facility's infirmary on August 20.
At approximately 9:27 a.m. on August 23, Deputies checked on Darmody and reported no issues. Deputies checked on her again at 9:40 a.m. and discovered that she was not breathing. Deputies and medical staff immediately began life saving measures and the woman was transferred by REMSA to Renown Medical Center where she passed away.
Exact cause of death will be determined by the Washoe County Medical Examiner's Office. Due to HIPAA restrictions, the Sheriff's Office is not able to comment further about the inmate's medical condition at the time of the incident.
