The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an investigation after an inmate was found to be experiencing a medical emergency at Silverdale Detention Center on Saturday morning, according to a HCSO news release.

Officers were called to the scene by CoreCivic personnel to provide assistance in the medical ward. The inmate was later pronounced dead by medical personnel.

The sheriff’s office identified the deceased inmate Tuesday as 57-year-old Nathaniel Parks, who was in custody for aggravated robbery.
