GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Authorities are investigating after a 24-year-old woman was found unresponsive in a North Carolina jail and died later at a hospital.
Staff at the Greensboro Detention Center found Anna Chris Dominguez unresponsive inside a holding cell about 5:15 a.m. Friday, local news outlets reported.
