Katelyn Godiska
Katelyn Godiska, 34, of Bethlehem, died at St. Luke's Hospital in Easton on June 14, 2026, after being transported from Northampton County Prison. The Northampton County Coroner's Office, led by Coroner Zachary Lysek, ruled her death a suicide caused by asphyxiation. Few details have been released, and it is unclear where in the prison the death occurred or what led to the hospital transport. A separate report gives the date of death as June 19, 2026, and describes a 35-year-old man, which conflicts with the coroner's account.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. The Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek ruled the death a suicide by asphyxiation, and the county said life-saving measures were taken before EMS transported her to the hospital.
Reported by: Northampton County Coroner's Office (Coroner Zachary Lysek) (medical examiner or coroner); Northampton County Prison (the agency that held her).
