PUEBLO – Officials say an inmate has died after a confrontation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florence.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports 37-year-old Maxie Graham was pronounced dead at a hospital after the altercation Sunday morning.
Prison spokesman Marlan Bacon says staff attempted life-saving measures and emergency medical personnel were called to the prison to transport the inmate to a hospital.
Bacon says no staff members or other inmates were injured.
The FBI is investigating the death as a possible homicide. Authorities did not say how Graham died.
Graham was serving a seven-year sentence on drug distribution charges. He had been incarcerated at the Florence prison since February.
