DELANO, Calif. (AP) — The death of a 25-year-old inmate at California’s North Kern State Prison is being investigated as a homicide, corrections officials said Tuesday.
An officer conducting a security check discovered Ricardo Saldivar unresponsive in a cell Monday afternoon, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement.
Saldivar was taken to the prison’s medical treatment area, where he was pronounced dead, the statement said. The Kern County Coroner will determine the official cause of death.
