But the 28-year-old Lake Oswego man couldnât pay his bail.
Two days later he was found unresponsive in his cell, the subject of an apparent ânon-suspicious suicide,â according to the initial law enforcement investigation.
This week, Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel confirmed Baksisâ identity, though the investigation into his cause of death continues. Hummel said he expects to release the findings from the investigation next week.
âHe was in the governmentâs custody and the family and the public deserve to know why he died,â Hummel said. âIt seems like itâs death by suicide but Iâm not going to make my final decision on that until the investigation is completely over.â
