The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office identified a Santa Maria man as the jail inmate found dead in his cell on Oct. 16.

Kelly Hoover, a public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, said custody deputies found 38-year-old Hector Higareda unresponsive inside of his cell at approximately 4:35 p.m. Deputies and jail medical staff, immediately began life-saving procedures, but they were unsuccessful. Higareda was pronounced dead less than an hour later.

Higareda was serving a 365-day sentence in the Santa Barbara County Main Jail on Calle Real for a false imprisonment charge related to a domestic dispute, Hoover said. He was booked into jail on June 18. Higareda was scheduled for early release on Dec. 9.
