CHICAGO (CBS) – A 56-year-old man died in a police lockup on Sunday after apparently suffering a seizure.
Jozef Tarasiuk was being held on suspicion of DUI at the Jefferson Park District police station at 5151 N. Milwaukee Av., when he suffered an apparent seizure at about 9:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.
