The coroner’s office is still working to determine how Norman died. Jail records show he was booked Oct. 2 on a trespassing charge.
Norman’s was the third inmate death reported at the jail since July. In August, a 31-year-old woman died after experiencing a medical event. In July, the death of a 28-year-old male inmate was ruled a suicide.
