Family of detainee questions sheriff’s statements in death
ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – An attorney representing the family of a 20-year-old Kane County Jail detainee who died said a sheriff’s detective told the family he had hanged himself – a statement he said officials are now backing away from.
Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez said he would not comment on the Renfroe family attorney’s assertions.
Keith D. Renfroe Jr., of Cottage Grove, Minn., was found unresponsive in his cell May 19 and taken to Delnor Hospital in Geneva, where he was removed from life support May 24.
