The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified the man involved as 38-year-old Charles Samuel Urbach.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An investigation is ongoing after a man died shortly after being taken into police custody Sunday afternoon, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced.

Police identified the man involved as 38-year-old Charles Samuel Urbach.

Police said around 12:50 p.m., officers responded to the 2200 block of Cortez Road regarding reports of a “suspicious person.”

When officers arrived, they found Urbach, who they say had been seen “prowling” through the backyard of multiple homes. Police noted that witnesses reported Urbach attempted to enter one of the homes that was occupied.

K-9 officers also responded to assist in the search, and police said Urbach was found hiding in a pond behind the homes.

Around 1:20 p.m., Urbach was taken into custody without incident. However, police said while being escorted from the back of the property to a patrol vehicle, Urbach became “combative” and hit a K-9 officer in the chest with his elbow while being searched by police.

Police said officers gained control “using minimal force,” and Urbach was then secured in the back of the patrol vehicle without further incident.

As officers were attempting to identify Urbach, he became unresponsive while in the patrol vehicle, police said.

Officers immediately requested medical assistance from the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department after Urbach failed to respond to “multiple sternum rubs”. Trained officers then administered Urbach two doses of Narcan.

JFRD then rushed Urbach to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:42 p.m., police said.

Urbach’s death is listed as undetermined. The investigation remains active as officials await the cause of death identified by the Medical Examiner’s Office.
