Inmate Death Investigated At Dane County Jail

The body of a 56-year-old inmate at the Dane County Jail was found early Monday morning during routine security checks.  The man’s name hasn’t been released.  Deputies say they found the inmate hanging in his cell.  Life-saving measures were started immediately, but the man was pronounced dead before he could be taken to a hospital.  The Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting an autopsy today (Tuesday).  The inmate had been in the jail on a probation hold since April.
