Incident

Corrections Officer Kyle Eng suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after struggling with an inmate in the Las Vegas Detention Center.

He began to feel ill after the inmate was subdued and went to the bathroom. Other officers found him unconscious in the bathroom and immediately began CPR. He was transported to University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Officer Eng had served with the Las Vegas Department of Public Safety for only seven months.

Corrections Officer Kyle Eng was a great man. He pushed me to be where I am today. He will always be missed. Rest in peace Boss Man.
