Corrections officers at the complex were alerted to an unresponsive inmate, later identified as 50-year-old Todd Ash, in his cell at 7 a.m. on Feb. 10, according to the release from the Sheriff’s Department.

Officers entered Ash’s cell and attempted lifesaving measures while they waited for the Tucson Fire Department to arrive.
