Syracuse man Joseph Flores dies after insulin omission at jail
Joseph Flores, 32, of Syracuse, died after being jailed Sept 14 awaiting robbery charges. A state correction commission report says his death was precipitated by the omission of insulin during incarceration. Nurses called for an ambulance but did not inform paramedics or doctors. Flores, a diabetic, received glucose instead of insulin at vital moments. Doctors later learned of his condition but he remained in a coma and died the next day. Onondaga County Health Commissioner oversees jail health review.
