Remijio, who had been living in Isla Vista, was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where he died about an hour later, Raney added.
“Although this appears to be an apparent suicide, the sheriff’s office is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident,” Raney said. “The sheriff/coroner’s office will conduct further investigation to determine the cause and manner of his death.”
Remijio had been booked into the jail Thursday night on an arrest warrant out of Ventura County for failure to appear on charges of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license, Raney said.
