CRANSTON, R.I. (WPRI) — An inmate death at the Adult Correctional Institution’s Intake Service Center on Friday is being investigated by Rhode Island State Police.

J.R. Ventura, a spokesperson for the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC), said the inmate’s roommate notified staff shortly after 4 p.m. that he required medical attention.

According to Ventura, life-saving steps were initiated after the arrived staff saw the inmate wasn’t responding.

Cranston Fire Department was called and brought the inmate to Kent County Hospital, who was later pronounced dead.

RIDOC’s Investigative Unit is also investigating the death alongside State Police.
