Odell Woman Dies At NORCOR

A 26-year-old woman from Odell died Tuesday afternoon while in custody at the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility.  According to a statement from NORCOR, emergency medical personnel responded to NORCOR’s medical clinic and attempted lifesaving efforts on Jennifer McLaren, but were unsuccessful.  The statement says there is no indication foul play was involved.  McLaren had been in custody since January 24 on charges originating in Hood River County.  The NORCOR statement says that at the time of her passing, McLaren was in a cell by herself, under observation by NORCOR corrections deputies, and was being treated by NORCOR medical staff for injuries sustained prior to her entry into the facility.  Because McLaren died in a correctional facility, the Wasco County Sheriff’s and District Attorney’s offices will investigate her death, and the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office is scheduled to conduct an autopsy on Thursday.
