The cause of death for an inmate who collapsed at Albemarle District Jail and later died at the hospital was “combined drug toxicity,” an autopsy report indicates.
William Adam Seagle, 24, who died at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center on June 24, had the drugs fentanyl and methadone in his body and their combined toxicity caused his death, the report states.
