PAOLI, Ind. (WISH) — A 54-year-old woman from Mooresville died Saturday in the Orange County jail, the Indiana State Police said Monday.
Jeanne Ross was found unresponsive when she was brought her breakfast about 5 a.m. Saturday, the state police said in a news release. She died at the jail after attempts to revive her.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office asked state police to investigate the death.
