During the immediately preceding supervision round conducted by Detention Staff, Mr. Broadhurst had shown no signs of distress.
Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Detention Officers began performing life-saving measures until Guilford County Emergency Services arrived and assumed care of Mr. Broadhurst. Guilford County Emergency Services were able to revive Mr. Broadhurst to the point he was breathing on his own when he left the facility.

At the time of when he was found unresponsive in his cell on October 20th, there was no apparent external trauma to Mr. Broadhurst.
