FOND DU LAC -- Fond du Lac police say a man who died in custody last year most likely ingested a lethal level of cocaine right before his arrest.
Christopher Cary, 37, was arrested on Dec. 23 for a possible bond violation.
Police say while he was in the squad, he experienced a medical emergency.
Cary was taken to a hospital where he died.
Police say they found cocaine in torn baggies around Cary's car and the medical examiner said he suffered an overdose.

WLUK reports while the district attorney's office says Cary died by his own hand, the family says Cary wasn't provided with the urgent medical attention he needed. They argue Cary's death could have been prevented, and they plan to file a federal lawsuit.
