Authorities have identified a man who died last week after being taken into custody by Lake County deputies.
Fifty-year-old Ryan Vandever, of Colorado, was handcuffed Tuesday in Kelseyville Community Park after reportedly refusing medical care and struggling with paramedics. Officials say Vandever became unresponsive, received CPR, and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Officials said he had a small amount of suspected fentanyl in his possession.
The Lake County District Attorney’s Office is investigating the in-custody death, and the sheriff’s office will review whether internal policies were followed.
