A 26-year-old man who died last November in the La Plata County Jail suffered a bruise that led to a blood clot that ultimately caused his death, but authorities are unsure how the man became injured.

Vicente Lucero was let out of his cell the morning of Nov. 3 and, soon after, collapsed in a common area of the cellblock. He was pronounced dead at Mercy Regional Medical Center about 7:30 a.m.

Lucero was being held on suspicion of burglary and assault after reportedly walking naked and threatening to kill people in the 8100 block of County Road 203, north of Durango in the Animas Valley.

When deputies responded, Lucero ran into a woman’s house and locked the door. When she ran out the back door, he threw the woman against a post, which resulted in injuries to the woman that required hospitalization.
