The Kentucky State Police (KSP) is investigating the death of a Beaver Dam man at the Ohio County Detention Center.
According to a press release, on Saturday, August 8, the KSP was notified by Ohio County Detention employees of an unresponsive inmate found around 5:45 a.m. by a deputy jailer. Staff contacted medical personal; however, the inmate was pronounced dead on-scene by the Ohio County Coroner's Office.
KSP Detectives say Robert Matthew Bradley, 26 of Beaver Dam, was arrested on Friday, August 7, for driving under the influence. Under standard procedure, he was placed in a cell where no other inmates are housed. He was found the next morning, unresponsive, by deputy jailers.
An autopsy was performed on Sunday and KSP Detectives are investigating the cause. Detectives are in the process of reviewing video footage, located inside the facility; however, no foul play is suspected.
