 After a month-long investigation into the death of an inmate, the Bemidji Police Department and Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office have determined inmate Hardle Sherrell died of pneumonia. Bemidji police officers responded to the Beltrami County Jail on September 2nd, after reports of an inmate not breathing. Life-saving efforts by jail staff were initiated immediately. They included CPR and the use of an AED, although Sherrell was pronounced dead at the scene. Nurse responders and ambulance personnel also responded, but were still unsuccessful in reviving Sherrell.
