Levon M. Guinn, 37, was found unresponsive in his cell Tuesday morning, according to Louisville Metro Department of Corrections. Medical staff said they started CPR, and called EMS to take him to Jewish Hospital.<\/p>\n
Guinn was pronounced dead at the hospital. Officials said preliminary information points to illicit drug use as a factor in his death.<\/p>\n
The department of corrections said Guinn was allowed medical care release, and had been at a scheduled appointment Monday, June 11. Officials found what they suspect to be powdered narcotic drugs in his possession.<\/p>\n
Guinn had been in jail since December 4, 2017, when he was arrested for multiple felony drug charges.<\/p>\n
As is standard when an inmate dies, the Louisville Metro Police Public Integrity Unit is investigating the circumstances. LMDC Director Mark Bolton also ordered the jail’s Professional Standards committee to review the case to make sure policy was followed.
