DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Authorities say foul play is not suspected in the case of a female inmate found dead in her cell at a suburban Philadelphia prison.
Bucks County spokesman Chris Edwards said 49-year-old Marlene Yarnall of Bensalem appears to have died of cardiac complications.
She was found in her cell at the county prison around 11 a.m. Saturday.
Edwards said Yarnall was in a detox treatment program at the prison and had “multiple pre-existing medical conditions.”
She was incarcerated since March 19 for a parole violation and had been taking her recommended medications for the detox program.
An autopsy has been performed but toxicology test results were pending.
