Roger Hannigan Gilson reports in the Times Union that an inmate at the Hudson Correctional Facility in Columbia County died last week, but prison officials are not saying how the inmate died, or virtually anything else about the incident. The name of the deceased person has not been released. State Police spokesperson Trooper Aaron Hicks said the incident was being treated as an "unattended death." That means no officials or medical personnel were present at the death. But Hicks declined to give any more information, saying it was an ongoing investigation. The State Police, the attorney general's office, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision's Office of Special Investigations, and the state Commission on Corrections are all investigating the death, as they would any death in a state prison. There were 113 people incarcerated at the Hudson Correctional Facility, as of Feb. 6, but little other information about the death is being released by public officials.
