An inmate at the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center died Monday (February 24, 2025) from an unknown medical condition.
Shortly after 1:40 a.m. Monday, a 57-year-old female inmate, who was being watched by both members of the jail’s medical staff and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputies, was observed suffering from a medical emergency.
Deputies and medical staff immediately rendered first aide and life-saving measures to the inmate, Cokette Jean Meyer, and those efforts continued until EMS arrived minutes later.
She was transported by EMS to a local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased.
The cause of death remains under investigation and is pending final autopsy results from the coroner’s office.
Meyer was booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on Jan 17 by Slidell Police after being arrested for Disturbing the Peace and Resisting Arrest by Force or Violence.
