(KLZA)-- Foul play is not suspected in the death of a Nebraska State Penitentiary inmate at Lincoln.
A Department of Corrections news release says 35-year-old Lucius Turner collapsed Monday afternoon while playing basketball.
Staff members administered CPR and called 911.
Turner had been incarcerated since March of 2008. He was serving a 40-55 year sentence for two counts of robbery from Gage and Lancaster counties.
An autopsy will be completed to determine the cause of death. As is the case when an inmate dies in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, a grand jury will investigate.
