A medical problem, not an attack, took the life of a Silverdale workhouse inmate, according to the Hamilton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Madison Bailee Deal, 26, died early Thursday morning at Erlanger hospital. She had been at Silverdale since she turned herself in Aug. 10 on a charge of violating probation for misdemeanor theft.
On Friday, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office released a statement on the preliminary autopsy findings by the county medical examiner’s office.
“This preliminary examination determined that Madison Bailee Deal’s death was due to a medical event and not a result of physical trauma,” stated the release by sheriff’s office spokesman Matt Lea.
He added that the final autopsy report must wait for microbiology and toxicology reports. Toxicology test results can take months to arrive.
