Just before Midnight Thursday night, correctional deputies were conducting rounds when they found 27-year-old Juan Moreno of Redding unresponsive in his cell. Life saving measures were attempted but Moreno could not be revived and he was pronounced dead. His family has been notified. The Coroner’s Office will perform a postmortem exam to try and determine a cause of death.
