MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)- Investigators with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office are looking into the death of an inmate found unresponsive this morning at the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center.

Inmate found during medication rounds

The incident began just after 8:30 a.m. when corrections deputies and medical staff were conducting morning medication call rounds. During the rounds, they located a 24-year-old male inmate unresponsive in his cell.

Jail medical staff immediately provided lifesaving measures. The individual was moved to the jail’s medical area, where arriving EMS personnel also rendered aid. Despite these efforts, the man was later pronounced deceased by Deputy Coroner Lonnie Miley.

Authorities have not yet released the inmate’s name or the details of his original charges. Officials stated that this information will be made public once relatives have been located and notified.
