"A man who told officers his name was John William Umstead, 45, was under suicide watch"

So they weren't watching him very well?

" [Umstead] stood up, complained of chest pains, passed out, fell backwards and hit his head," Martin said."

So he died of a heart attack--or from hitting his head on the floor? (I.E., was there damage to his head? Was that the cause of death? Is that the official police explanation--of the Durham PD?)

OK, maybe it's nothing. But in Durham, my nose prickles
when hearing these things. . .

OOPs, apparently this is the Durham county sheriff's dept.

Makes a difference. . .

A man dieing of a heart attack under a suicide watch sure does sound fishy doesn't it?
