\nThe name of an inmate who died while in custody at Louisville Metro Corrections has been released and it appears no foul play was involved with his death.<\/p>\n
The Jefferson County Coroner\u2019s Office has identified the inmate as 43 year-old Brandon T. McQuillen. The cause of McQuillen\u2019s death was due to hanging. The manner of death has been ruled as suicide.<\/p>\n
On the morning of May 20, 2025, fellow Louisville Metro Department of Corrections inmates alerted corrections officers that McQuillen was unconscious.<\/p>\n
McQuillen received immediate medical help from Louisville Metro Department of Corrections staff before Louisville firefighters and Metro EMS crews arrived but was pronounced dead before he could be taken to a hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
McQuillen was being held on a murder charge after his father, 65 year-old John McQuillen, was found shot to death outside his home on March 12, 2025, in the 1200 block of Winter Springs Court.<\/p>\n
McQuillen was taken into custody the next day on weapons charges after being found with an AR-15 rifle. He was charged with his father\u2019s murder while in custody.<\/p>\n
While Middletown and Louisville metro police investigated the murder, they found a suspicious package at the crime scene. The Louisville Metro Police Department bomb squad performed a controlled detonation of the package.
