An investigation is underway after Sandra Cunningham, 63, was found unresponsive in her cell at the Oklahoma County Detention Center and later pronounced dead at a hospital. She had been incarcerated since September 15 on drug-related charges. This marks the sixth inmate death this year at the facility, which has seen over 40 deaths since a trust took over in July 2020. All jail deaths are treated as potential homicides until the medical examiner's findings are released.
