Cleveland Flood
Cleveland Flood, 38, died at a prison in Sterling, Colorado, in February 2011, according to state officials, who said his death was being investigated as a homicide and that another person was considered a suspect. A Denver Post report from December 2011 said he was beaten to death at the Sterling Correctional Facility in February 2010 and that two people held there were suspected, with the district attorney saying charges could follow. The two accounts give different years for his death. When the first report was published, officials had not released the cause of death and were trying to determine who leaked a photo from the investigation.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. Colorado Department of Corrections officials say another inmate is a suspect in the homicide, and the district attorney said charges could follow.
Reported by: Colorado Department of Corrections (the agency that held him); Sterling district attorney.
