The Special housing unit Shu#1 Officer announced by via radio medical emergency on 9 South upon arrival, officer stated to me that inmate Epstein had hung himself. As I entered cell Z06-220 on L-tier, I witnessed inmate Epstein on the floor of his cell unresponsive with Shu#2 officer performing life-saving CPR on him. I immediately relieved him and begin administering CPR continuously until relieved by clinical nurse who continued to perform CPR. I then notified the control center to call 911 emergency services at 6:35 a.m.; CPR was being continuously administered as inmate Epstein was escorted to the 2nd FL. Health Service Area, while in the medical area I witnessed nurse continuously performing CPR on inmate Epstein until relieved by EMT staff at 6:43 am.
