Report: Inmate’s death ruled a homicide
ORIENT, Ohio (AP) The death of an inmate who died in his cell at an Ohio prison earlier this year has been ruled a homicide.
Michael McDaniel, 55, died Feb. 6 after he became combative and injured two guards who had tried to remove him from his cell at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction stated at the time. McDaniel declined medical attention, according to officials, but later collapsed and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The guards were treated for their injuries and released.
