Around 8:07 a.m., investigators said a jail employee was conducting rounds when he noticed that Pillow was unresponsive inside his cell. Jail medical staff said they attempted to revive Pillow and called for an ambulance.Houston police are now investigating the death and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office is also conducting an internal investigation to determine whether all departmental policies and procedures were followed.
