"NEWTON - Harold James Ledet Jr. was awake in his jail cell shortly before 3:30 a.m., prompting a jailer to ask if he was OK.

Ten minutes later, he was no longer breathing. A transcript of a 911 call made about 3:36 a.m. shows Ledet was unresponsive and not breathing before being taken from his cell to Catawba Valley Medical Center. He was later pronounced dead.

Ledet, 28, died five days after being jailed on charges of attempted armed robbery and conspiracy. His death sparked outrage from a grieving family and prompted an investigation by the National Action Network, a civil rights organization headed by the Rev. Al Sharpton."
