BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Days after the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy prevented a female inmate’s suicide, KSAT Investigates confirmed the inmate later died at a hospital.
Adriana Lastra, 27, died Thursday, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Her death has been ruled a suicide, the office said.
Jail records show Lastra was arrested in April 2025 after being charged with assault on a peace officer.
On Monday, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy doing a routine cell check found an inmate, who KSAT Investigates learned was Lastra, attempting to die by suicide.
The deputy began performing life-saving measures until the facility’s medical staff took over minutes later, according to BCSO. Lastra was taken to the hospital on Monday afternoon.
On Sunday, BCSO told KSAT that Lastra’s family made the decision to remove her from life support on Thursday evening.
The sheriff’s office said that the Castle Hills Police Department is handling the death investigation. BCSO internal affairs unit is also conducting a concurrent administrative review.
Per KSAT Investigates’ count, Lastra is the seventh Bexar County inmate to die this year.
