AGE: 44

CITY, STATE OF RESIDENCE: Brattleboro, VT

 

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

The Vermont State Police is investigating the death of Trevis Gembarowski, 44, of Brattleboro, Vermont, who experienced a medical emergency while attended by Department of Corrections staff at about 9:48 AM on September 27, 2026. Department of Corrections staff called for emergency medical services to respond to the facility while attempting life-saving measures. Gembarowski was pronounced deceased at the facility at about 10:19 a.m. The Department of Corrections then notified the Vermont State Police that Gembarowski was pronounced dead. An autopsy was performed at the Vermont Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington on September 28, 2026, to determine the cause and manner of death. The cause and manner of death results however are pending toxicology results.

 

Per standard protocol for deaths involving inmates, a detective from the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations was assigned to the case and responded to the prison to begin an investigation. The death does not appear to be suspicious. Gembarowski had been in the Department of Corrections custody since September 26, 2026.

 

No additional information is currently available. The investigation is ongoing, and the Vermont State Police will provide updates when possible. Further questions should be directed to the Department of Corrections.
