The department did say, however, that he d been serving a 2½-year sentence on a sale of narcotics charge and had been approved for a reentry furlough prior to his death, meaning his release may have been imminent.
The man had been transferred to a hospital from the DOC s medical isolation unit at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution on Nov. 28.
