Joseph Fultz
Joseph Fultz, 52, died on February 7, 2021, while held at the Federal Correctional Institution in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Terre Haute Tribune-Star reported that he tested positive for COVID-19 four days after being transferred to the facility and was found unresponsive in his cell, the sixth reported death at the federal complex in Vigo County. The Bureau of Prisons said he tested positive in January, was placed in medical isolation before recovering, and had long-term medical conditions that made him vulnerable to the virus. The two accounts give different timing for his infection and do not agree on the sequence of his illness.
