A 35-year-old man charged Friday with second-degree forgery was found dead last night in his cell at the Honolulu Police Department's main station at 801 S. Beretania St. The man was scheduled for a District Court appearance today.

The medical examiner's office declined to identify the man until next of kin is notified. An autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death.

The man was last seen alive at 7:45 p.m. yesterday. He was thought to be asleep during routine checks of the cellblock, police said. An officer entered the man’s cell and found him dead at 11:20 p.m.

There were no signs of foul play, police said.
