Mr. Davis has been an inmate at the Coconino County Detention Facility since April 13, 2014, after booking by the Page (AZ) Police Department for multiple criminal offenses including burglaries, thefts, criminal damage and prohibited weapons possession. Davis was being held on an out-of-state warrant.

Prior to his death, Davis was assigned to a two person cell in a housing unit with a common day use area for inmates. At approximately 4:42 p.m. on July 23, Detention officers were alerted by inmates that Mr. Davis appeared to be hanging from a ladder attached to a two person bunk bed. Officers immediately responded and placed him on the floor, at which point they began CPR. A nurse assigned to the facility also responded with an AED device.

Lifesaving efforts continued until the arrival of Guardian Medical personnel who assumed Davis’ medical care. He did not respond. After pronouncing Davis deceased, his body was transported to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office and CCSO personnel notified next of kin.

At this point in the investigation no foul play is suspected, and it appears that Davis died of a self-inflicted injury.
