A 16-year-old inmate at a Greeley youth detention center died Tuesday after being in intensive care since last month.
Authorities did not say how the teen died, only calling it a “medical emergency.”
On Oct. 21, police responded to the Plate Valley Youth Services center on reports of a contraband narcotics violation in the facility, police said in a news release.
Detention center staff told police that they found the teen unresponsive in his cell at 6:48 a.m. He was taken to the hospital.
