Another Inmate With COVID-19 Dies at Hospital
A Nebraska inmate who had tested positive for COVID-19 has died.
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services said the inmate died last Friday at an Omaha hospital. He’s the second Nebraska inmate with COVID-19 to die this week, The Lincoln Journal-Star reported.
The name of the inmate, who was in his 30s, will not be released, the department said. He was convicted of first-degree sexual assault in Douglas County.
Another inmate in his 40s died last week after testing positive for the virus, officials said.
The exact cause of death for either inmate hadn’t been determined. However, as is the case whenever an inmate dies in custody, a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
