Lenhart was reported unresponsive around 12:17 p.m. during mealtime, a statement from Warden Orlando Harper read.

Jail medical personnel performed CPR until paramedics arrived, but the lifesaving measures were unsuccessful.

Jail officials said the death was not suspicious and will be investigated by county police, and the medical examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.
