Arrested and booked into the facility on Feb. 3, Jeffrey McMaster was initially found suffering from a seizure on May 25, according to the Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office. He was taken to an area hospital and cleared to return to the jail Saturday.<\/p>\n

McMaster was taken to the jail\u2019s outpatient housing unit, where he underwent a medical screening at 11:40 a.m., authorities said. During the screening, McMaster said he needed to use the restroom, and deputies escorted him to a cell that had one.<\/p>\n

A short time later, deputies heard a noise coming from the cell and found McMaster on the floor experiencing a medical emergency, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. Deputies began life-saving measures and requested emergency medical services.<\/p>\n

Emergency medical personnel arrived at the jail and continued life-saving measures, but McMaster was ultimately pronounced dead at 12:46 p.m., authorities said.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. Authorities said a forensic pathologist will determine McMaster\u2019s cause of death after an autopsy and any necessary toxicology testing.<\/p>\n

The Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office was notified, and the sheriff\u2019s office plans to report the death to the California Attorney General\u2019s Office, as required by law.<\/p>\n

McMaster had been charged with murder in connection with the fatal beating of Leslie Marshall, 49, of Oakland, at a residential hotel in the 2300 block of San Pablo Avenue in Oakland on Feb. 2. McMaster and Marshall both lived at the facility.<\/p>\n
