Officers at the station were alerted by a shout from another prisoner around 8.16 am.
On checking, officers found DHANRAJ MANAN, 50, of El Dorado, slumped over the toilet bowl and he appeared unresponsive.
The EHS was summoned followed by the District Medical Officer Dr Jagget who made a pronouncement and ordered the removal of the body to the Forensic Sciences Centre for a post-mortem.
