PITTSBURGH (AP) - A homeless man arrested on a drug charge earlier this month has been found dead at the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh.

The county medical examiner’s office says results of toxicology tests on the body are pending.

Until then, authorities say they won’t know how 49-year-old Timothy Haskell died.

Online court records show he was arraigned April 3 by police in West View, a tiny suburb, based on an incident last month.

An autopsy on Haskell’s body was inconclusive.

He died Friday after falling ill at the jail. He had been scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday on the drug charge.
