Inmate Death Investigation

A grand jury will be convened to investigate the death of an inmate at the Nebraska Center for Woman in York.

The York News-Times says prison officials say 61-year-old Michelle Bartlett died on Sunday.

She had been in prison since September 2008 and was serving 7-to-14 years for first-degree forgery and driving during revocation from Lancaster County.

Authorities say a cause of death is pending, but Bartlett was being treated for a long-term medical condition.

Nebraska law requires a grand jury investigation when someone dies in custody or while being arrested.
