MOORHEAD, Minn. — Ramsey County Medical Examiner identifies the man who died on Tuesday hours after his arrest in Moorhead.

Kelly was arrested on outstanding warrants when he complained of shortness of breath and lost consciousness.

He later died at Sanford Medical Center.

An autopsy is being done.
