3rd inmate in less than a month dies at Michigan women's prison
A third inmate in less than a month has died at Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Washtenaw County, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.
Ashley Hoath, 36, died Saturday morning at Trinity Health Hospital several hours after being transferred out of the prison's medical unit, said MDOC spokesperson Jenni Riehle.
A corrections officer noticed Hoath was not feeling well early Saturday morning and took her to the medical unit and she was later taken to the hospital, Riehle said. She was responsive when she was taken to the hospital, Riehle said. Several hours later, Hoath died. Her death was unexpected and is under investigation.
Hoath is the prison's third death in less than a month, a trend that has had 30 lawmakers calling for MDOC Director Heidi Washington's resignation.
