“While the incident is not considered suspicious, it is standard procedure that all inmate deaths are jointly investigated by the RIDOC’s Special Investigations Unit, the RIDOC’s Inspector’s Office, Rhode Island State Police and Medical Examiner’s Office,” a DOC spokeswoman said. “This investigation is underway.”
