Death of inmate at Sterling prison investigated - The Denver Post

A suspect is being held in connection to the death of another inmate at the Sterling Correctional Facility.

Katherine Sanguinetti, a spokesperson with the Colorado Department of Corrections, says 38-year-old Cleveland Flood was found dead around midnight Saturday. She was unable to say where at the prison the death happened or how Flood died, due to the on-going investigation. She also was unable to release the name of the suspect, but says it is another inmate at the correctional facility.

Sanguinetti says the death is being investigated as a homicide, which is standard procedure at Department of Corrections' facilities.

The Logan County Coroner's Office says an autopsy was conducted on Monday, but the cause of death is pending the result of tests.
