(KNZA)--The death of an inmate at the Lansing Correctional Facility has been ruled a homicide.

29-year-old Darionce Charles-Lott was found unresponsive in his cell on November 25th. Despite life-saving measures at the facility's clinic, he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy was conducted. While the final autopsy report is pending, the KBI in a release Wednesday said preliminary autopsy results indicated Charles-Lott's manner of death was homicide, and cause of death was strangulation.

The KBI says the investigation is ongoing. Once it is completed, findings will be presented to the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office for determination of charges.

Charles-Lott had been serving a 172-month sentence for a conviction in Wyandotte County for aggravated battery. He was admitted to the Lansing facility in November 2011.
