This is an easy question to answer, ESPECIALLY if it happens in the United States. If you don't do everything you can to save his life, the local, national and international media will be all over the story like flies on shit. The people in charge and the entire system will be indicted as heartless and cruel. Everyone will say not trying to save the man's life shows how barbaric the nation is and that it's an indictment against both the government and the people.
This is a no-win situation but the backlash for just letting the guy die in custody simply isn't worth it. Do your best to save his life and then your conscience is clear. Just imagine standing over the guy and watching him gasp his last breath because you don't feel like saving a murderer. Then, two weeks later, DNA evidence overturns the case. Now you've basically murdered an innocent man. It's not worth that risk, either.
