Baltimore Woman Who Collapsed In Police Custody Has Died

A Baltimore woman who collapsed on April 9 while in police custody has died, police said.

Kim Doreen Chase, 52, of Baltimore, died Thursday morning at St. Agnes Hospital. An autopsy will determine a cause and manner of death.

Police said they continue to investigate the circumstances involving Chase's case, but do not believe that she was abused by the officers.

Police said Chase was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear in court.

Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said last week that while Chase and officers waited for a police transport van, she was allowed to go to her home in the 100 block of South Calverton Road to gather personal items. While she was there, a family member braided Chase's hair, police said. That development was first reported by the 11 News I-Team.

Police said two officers are on administrative duty and a lieutenant has been suspended as a result of the incident.
