Inmate, 48, dies of unknown causes

— A 48-year-old Arkansas Department of Community Correction inmate died early Wednesday of unknown causes, a spokesman for the agency reported.

Woodrow Brothers, had been ill and was being treated both at the Diagnostic Unit in Pine Bluff and at a local hospital before his death, said Rhonda Sharp, a spokesman for the agency.

Brothers was incarcerated earlier this month on a felony charge of manufacture, delivery, possession of a controlled substance from Garland County and was scheduled for release in March, Sharp said.

Brothers’ body has been sent to the state Crime Laboratory for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death, Sharp said.
