PORT ORCHARD — A Kitsap County Jail inmate with ties to Jefferson County has died at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton after being found by sheriff’s corrections officers unconscious in his cell.

Eric Orville Waldenberg, 49, was listed as a Kingston resident but also had an established address in Jefferson County, according to the Kitsap County Coroner’s Office.

Waldenberg was found unconscious and unresponsive in his cell at 8:57 p.m. Saturday by an officer conducting a periodic security check, said Deputy Scott Wilson, spokesman for the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

Corrections officers performed emergency first aid in an attempt to revive Waldenberg, he said.
