A woman’s body was found in a restroom Saturday in the public lobby of the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said.
The body, discovered about 5:25 a.m., was identified as that of 36-year-old Dequita Grace Harrell of Oakland.
“Preliminary information indicates Ms. Harrell was at the Santa Rita Jail awaiting the release of an incarcerated individual,” the sheriff’s office said.
Visiting hours at the jail end at 8 p.m., according to the office’s website. Prisoner releases involve a lengthy administrative process that can end late at night.
“At this time, there are no signs of foul play,” the sheriff’s office said. “While illegal drugs may have been a contributing factor, the official cause of death will be determined by a forensic pathologist.”
