The Miller County Coroner’s Office wrote in a Monday social media post that a man who died while in custody of the law enforcement died from a “sudden cardiac arrest, secondary to acute methamphetamine toxicity.”
The coroner’s office previously wrote on Aug. 18 that Albert Clark, 54, had a plastic bag in his stomach.
Clark was involved in a chase with law enforcement on Aug. 15 and collapsed after he was detained.
He was brought to Lake Regional Hospital and was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m., according to previous reporting.
