Later, the county coroner reported that he died of strangulation and had multiple blunt force injuries to the head, and a cellmate was indicted on murder charges in connection with a fight the state's attorney said occurred that month. Toxicology results were pending at the time of the first report.

The Illinois Department of Corrections says his cellmate was arrested and the death is being investigated as a homicide; the Livingston County coroner found strangulation and blunt force head trauma, and the state's attorney says a cellmate was indicted for murder.
