An inmate at the Clark County Detention Center died after being taken to the hospital for what initially appeared to be self-inflicted injuries, Las Vegas police said.

He was 33-year-old Mark Stringham, according to the Clark County coroner.

Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon said the man was taken from jail to University Medical Center about 1 p.m. Wednesday. About 11:20 p.m., Metro officers were notified the man had died. Detectives responded, he said.

The Clark County coroner will determine cause and manner of death.
