A man died inside a holding cell at the Kings County Criminal Court Friday night, officials said.

Police said they found the 46-year-old unconscious and unresponsive at around 10:15 p.m. Emergency services responded and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police said they will release the identity of the man once the family has been properly notified.

The Office of Chief Medical Examiner has not yet determined the cause of death and the NYPD's Force Investigation Division will investigate the incident as the man was in police custody.

This year so far, 11 people have died in city custody or shortly after being released , although most were in the care of the city Department of Correction and not the NYPD.
