My husband that died in Sept 1st did not die in the hospital they are not telling the truth
So sorry for your loss Christine! If there are doubts you should contact the O.C. District Attorney.
I can confirm you are correct Christine. I was a witness to your husbands death. He was already dead by the deputies and medical team came to give him CPR

The family still has no autopsy report on this matter the jail has neither been forthcoming nor cooperative, the familiy is full of questions, only recently was a cuase of death alleged as a ‘meth overdose’ not only extremely vague, but raising the question of whether deputies properly monitor inmates in their custody, conduct proper searches, and cell checks. Chris Villalobos was only in for a probation violation and 5 days in was alleged to have had access to more drugs inside, than apparently was available on the streets of Anaheim.
