An inmate at Rikers Island died late Tuesday night while in custody, according to officials.

Authorities say Felix Taveras, 40, was in the Anna M. Kross Correctional Facility when he suffered a medical episode just before midnight Tuesday.

He was taken to an onsite clinic for care then transported to a hospital where he died just before 1:30 a.m.

Taveras was arrested on a burglary charge since March.

His cause of death is pending and the incident is under investigation. This is the 4th death linked to city jails in 2023.
