The staff found the 42-year-old man at about 7:30 p.m. during a routine security check. Seattle Fire and Medic 1 staff responded, but the inmate was still unresponsive. Medical staff pronounced him dead at 7:50 p.m.
The inmate, who lived in Seattle, was booked into the King County Correctional Facility on April 2 and charged two days later on a second-degree murder case.
