Louisville Metro Corrections officers found a 54-year-old man unresponsive around 3 p.m. Friday afternoon. He was taken to a hospital in downtown Louisville where he died two hours later. Jail officials said he died of natural causes, according to an LMDC press release. The man had been in LMDC’s custody since 2022. LMDC officials said Friday they won’t release the man’s identity until after they contact his family. The Jefferson County Coroner’s office has not identified the man.
