A 37-year-old man was pronounced dead early Wednesday at the Dauphin County Prison. He is the second inmate to die in less than two months, authorities said.
The man was found tied to his bedding around 3 a.m., according to a Dauphin County news release. The release said it appears the man hanged himself. The Dauphin County Coroner’s Office pronounced him dead at the scene.
The county identified him as Kyle Joseph Nadwodny, who listed an address in the Linglestown area. He was charged with 25 counts of disseminating photographs or film of child sex acts, 31 counts of possession of child pornography, and criminal use of communication facility. His bond was set at $150,000, which he could not post when he was arrested May 5.
