The York County Sheriff’s Office has identified an inmate at the York County Jail who died over the weekend.
Sheriff William King says 47-year-old Jason Daigle died Sunday at Maine Medical Center, after complaining of a medical issue. His last known address was in Berwick.
Police have not released Daigle’s cause of death.
With an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus at the York County Jail, Maine CDC Director Dr. Nirav Shah said Tuesday that the inmate death reported this week was not caused by COVID-19, but that the individual had tested positive and recovered before their death. The death was not added to the state’s virus death total.
