LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A grand jury will be called to investigate the death of an inmate at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln.
Oddie Granger, 44, died at the prison Wednesday morning, state prison officials said. While the cause of Granger's death has not been determined, he was being treated for an undisclosed medical condition, Nebraska Department of Correctional Services spokeswoman Laura Strimple said in a news release.
Granger began serving his 5.5-year prison sentence in May 2019 on three felony DUI counts. State law requires a grand jury investigation any time a person dies in police or prison custody.
