The Linn County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of the inmate who passed away at the Correctional Center last week.
58-year-old Timothy Towne of Cedar Rapids reportedly had an extensive medical history and had been at the facility for just over a year, serving time on several charges.
Staff found Towne unconscious and unresponsive, lying in his cell at around 3:45 pm Thursday. A medical emergency was called and personnel began CPR and used a defibrillator. Paramedics were called to assist, but Towne was later pronounced dead.
An autopsy has been ordered, and the State Jail Inspector is conducting an investigation.
