A subset of in-custody deaths, typically occurring in the precustody phase, arise from a combination of mechanisms, rather than a single anatomically or circumstantially demonstrable cause. This case series examined nontraumatic in-custody deaths that occurred over a 5-year period (2015–2019) in Harris County, Texas. Cases were identified as “in custody” or “during police intervention,” with a homicide manner; traumatic causes of death (eg, police shootings) were excluded.
