TOLEDO | Gabrielle Magsig, 31, Dies in Custody at Lucas County Jail

TOLEDO, Ohio — A 31-year-old woman died in custody Monday morning at the Lucas County Corrections Center in downtown Toledo after she was found unresponsive in her cell, according to the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office identified her as Gabrielle Magsig. Officers found her at 9:05 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, 13abc and WTOL reported, citing the sheriff’s office.

According to a sheriff’s office press release quoted by WTOL, officers “immediately began lifesaving aid until the nursing staff took charge, and then the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department arrived in the module at 9:16 a.m. to continue aid.”

Paramedics pronounced Magsig dead at 9:54 a.m., WTOL reported. 13abc, also citing the sheriff’s office, reported that nursing staff and Toledo Fire and Rescue undertook lifesaving measures and that she was pronounced dead at that time.

The death is under investigation, the sheriff’s office said. WTOL reported that a coroner’s report is underway and that additional information on Magsig’s death was not immediately available.

As of Tuesday morning, Nov. 10, officials had not released a cause or manner of death. The Lucas County Coroner’s Office had not posted a public statement about the case on the county website, and the 13abc and WTOL stories had not been updated with new official findings.

Magsig had been booked into the jail on Friday evening, Nov. 6. An official Lucas County Corrections Center booking summary listed her full name as Gabrielle Lee Magsig and said the Toledo Police Department arrested her at 6:30 p.m. Friday and booked her at 7:03 p.m.

The summary listed one charge in Toledo Municipal Court: use or possession of drug paraphernalia, or possession with purpose to use drug paraphernalia. The charge is an allegation, and Magsig had not been convicted. 13abc reported that she was initially booked into the jail on a drug paraphernalia arrest Friday.

The corrections center, at 1622 Spielbusch Avenue, is operated by the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office.

The Fostoria Free Press will update this story if the sheriff’s office or the coroner releases additional official information.
