An inmate at the Maine State Prison died at a midcoast hospital on Monday, a prison official said.
Darrell Crosby, 59, was about halfway through an 18-month sentence at the Warren prison when he died at Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockland at 12:20 p.m., according to Joseph Fitzpatrick, commissioner of the Maine Department of Corrections.
Fitzpatrick did not provide any details about the circumstances of Crosby’s death.
Crosby was receiving cancer treatments around the time he received his sentence, which began on Aug. 18, 2017. He was serving a split sentence of six years, with all but 18 months suspended, and eight years of probation for unlawful sexual contact.
