At 8:15 p.m., the attending Registered Nurse (RN) conducted a medical screening of Denton as part of the initial booking process. During the screening interview, Denton denied having any medical conditions, taking any medications, and denied any drug use. On July 11, 2019, Denton completed an Inmate Health Message Slip. He requested to see a nurse and indicated he was "very sick from detox." Denton told John Doe 2 he was withdrawing from heroin, but had not reported his condition to medical staff. On Saturday, July 13, 2019, Denton denied having any medical conditions or taking any medications. Denton was specifically asked if he used any street drugs, or if he was currently experiencing chills, fever, or body ache. Denton replied "No." Denton showed no signs of distress and had no complaints. Denton was cleared to work within the jail. On Sunday, July 14, 2019 the attending RN saw Denton. During this examination, Denton was sweating and having difficulty sitting; his pupils were dilated, he was experiencing mild discomfort, nasal stiffness, unusually moist eyes, and stomach cramps. Denton said he last used heroin on July 10, 2019. Denton consented to a urine test; returned positive for amphetamines, cannabis, methamphetamine, and opiates. Denton was cleared for regular housing and regular diet. He was prescribed Tylenol 650 mg, Zofran 4 mg, Benadryl 25 mg, and Imodium 2 mg, and instructed to have his vitals taken 5 times a day. During dinner, Denton told John Doe 2 he had been feeling nauseous and did not care to eat. At 7:05 a.m., Denton left his bunk and went to the medical health office. The attending RN checked Denton's vitals and noticed that Denton had an accelerated resting heart rate, nausea, and loose stool. At 7:20 a.m., Denton returned to his bunk. Denton covered himself with a blanket and covered his face with a towel. At approximately 8:20 a.m., Denton rolled over onto his stomach then moved his right leg over and off the bunk. Denton appeared to be laboring or struggling. John Doe 3, who was in the bunk above Denton, he saw that Denton was having a seizure. At 8:22 a.m., Deputy John Moreno was flagged down by inmates. Deputy Moreno saw Denton was gasping for air and experiencing labored breathing. Denton was unresponsive and possibly hallucinating. Deputies saw saliva protruding from Denton's mouth, but noticed Denton was still breathing. At 8:25 a.m., Deputies noticed he was no longer breathing and found no pulse. The deputies moved Denton from the lower bunk to the floor to evaluate his condition and to perform CPR. At 8:28 a.m., Deputy Mercado began chest compressions and Deputy Moreno administered several rounds of Narcan through Denton's nostrils. Deputy Hendee placed the defibrillator pads on Denton and used the AED in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The AED went through several cycles, and two shocks were administered. One of the RNs found no pulse on Denton; she was unsuccessful in initiating an IV. A second RN began to provide oxygen to Denton via a bag valve mask. Deputy Vincent Johnson arrived and began to look for anything suspicious or illegal adjacent to Denton's bunk but found none. At 8:37 a.m., Deputies and medical staff performing CPR on Denton. A Paramedic assessed Denton and found he was not breathing and had no pulse. The Paramedic had the OCSD deputies continue chest compressions and requested that another OFD Paramedic use a supraglottic device to establish an airway. The paramedics removed the AED the jail staff had applied to Denton, and replaced it with a cardiac monitor. The paramedics determined that Denton had no pulse, not breathing, and was suffering ventricular fibrillation. An automatic CPR machine was placed on Denton to continue CPR chest compressions. The paramedics defibrillated Denton 3 times and administered 3 doses of epinephrine. At 9:01 a.m., Denton arrived at UCIMC. Denton was wearing an automatic cardiac compression machine, which was performing CPR as he arrived at the hospital. The attending physician removed the CPR device and began the Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Protocol, which consisted of CPR, AED, and lifesaving medications such as Esmerol, Narcan, and Epinephrine. The attending physician also placed an endotracheal tube inside Denton's trachea. Denton was shocked numerous times with the AED along with manual shock paddles with no change in his condition or signs of life. At 9:21 a.m., physician pronounced Denton deceased.
