CLEVELAND, Ohio — A woman in the Cuyahoga County Jail on drug dealing charges died Wednesday after suffering from a “medical emergency” at the jail, officials said.
Nadine Stanley, 37, of Cleveland was initially treated at the jail, then taken to Lutheran Hospital, where she died, according to Cuyahoga County spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan.
Madigan said they are releasing no further information about the death, or whether anything was found inside Stanley’s cell that would indicate why she became ill.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.
Madigan said all deaths of inmates trigger an internal investigation.
Stanley was in jail on $1,500 bond after being arrested in January in a drug-dealing investigation. She appeared in court Tuesday morning for a pretrial hearing.
Cleveland police on Jan. 3 raided her home in the 2200 block of West 53rd Street, just north of Clark Avenue and next to Clark Elementary School. Police found she and another man– Antwaun Stanley, 40– were selling heroin, cocaine and marijuana, according to court records.
They also found digital scales and drug packaging material inside the home, court records say.
Stanley also has two other drug-related convictions since 1998.
