HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KSNW) — The Reno County Sheriff’s Office says an inmate has died at the county correctional facility.

It happened shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday when deputies were notified an inmate was “in distress in his cell.” The sheriff’s office says deputies began lifesaving measures until Reno County EMS and Hutchinson Fire personnel arrived.

The inmate was pronounced dead a short time later. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation was contacted to assist in the investigation into his death as required by law.

The sheriff’s office says the inmate’s name is being withheld until his family has been notified.

Haun Ventures is riding the bitcoin high
Blockchain startups were red-hot when Katie Haun left Andreessen Horowitz in 2021 to launch her own crypto-focused venture firm. Despite having a massive arsenal of dry powder, Haun Ventures didn't rush to scoop up stakes in crypto and web3 on the cheap, and many observers wondered when the firm would pick up its deployment pace. While Haun Ventures says it wasn't exactly sitting on its hands (and capital) through crypto's downturn, the firm was perhaps more cautious than it initially intended.
