Tecumseh State Prison
TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) - A Nebraska inmate serving a sentence for sexually assaulting a child has died.
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says in a news release that 55-year-old Robert Nelson died Tuesday. He was serving a 60-year sentence at the state prison in Tecumseh for first-degree sexual assault of a child.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports the cause of death hasn't been determined but that Nelson was being treated for a medical condition.
He began his prison term in January 2014.
A grand jury will investigate his death. That is the policy whenever an inmate dies in prison.
