Brendan Weaver
Brendan Weaver, 28, of Lancaster County, died in his cell at SCI Camp Hill in the early hours of July 11, 2018. A security officer on rounds found him hanging from the top bunk, and he was pronounced dead at 2:57 a.m., according to the York Daily Record. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has classed the death as a suicide, while state police are investigating as a matter of policy and the Cumberland County coroner will determine the official cause. The Morning Call, reporting in October 2018, noted that new prisoners are at high risk early in their stay, in a story about several suicides in Pennsylvania prisons that year.
