Inmate Who Had AIDS Dies

A 33-year-old inmate, who would have completed his six-month sentence for statutory rape Wednesday, died of a heart attack today in the jail ward at County-USC Medical Center where he was being treated for AIDS, authorities said.

Wert Granville Yarbrough of El Segundo had been in critical condition with AIDS--acquired immune deficiency syndrome--since April 13, deputies said. The 15-year-old girl with whom he was convicted of having unlawful sex has been notified that he suffered from AIDS, authorities said, and she is undergoing testing at UCLA Medical Center to determine whether she has contracted the disease.
