MDOC: Prisoner dead after fight with other inmate at Alger Correctional Facility

ALGER COUNTY, Mich. (WJMN) — The Michigan Department of Corrections and Michigan State Police are investigating after the death of an inmate at the Alger Correctional Facility.

According to a spokesperson for the MDOC, staff at the prison were called for emergency medical care for Drequan Glover on June 18th after a “physical altercation” with another inmate.

We’re told despite life-saving efforts, Glover died that same day.

The MDOC said through their initial investigation with MSP they found no weapons had been used in the fight with the other inmate, but did not mention anything more toward what the cause of death may have been.

It is currently unclear who the other prisoner was, or if they are facing any possible repercussions.
