Clayton police are investigating a detainee’s death on Monday at the St. Louis County jail.
County spokeswoman Elizabeth Eisele said the detainee is a woman who died Monday while in her cell.
Eisele said emergency medical aid was unsuccessfully rendered.
Eisele said they're working with Clayton police and the Medical Examiner’s Office to understand the cause of death.
Jail residents are receiving mental health support, she said.
A police department spokesperson said they are not releasing identifying information until they can notify the person’s next of kin.
Clayton police said the death does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
