ECI Death Mix Up

An inmate at the Eastern Correctional Institute is dead and in a mix-up, the wrong family was notified. The Department of Corrections says two cellmates were on a recreation break. Johnnie Hughes went to take a shower and when he came back to his cell, William Beatty was dead. Prison officials mistakenly notified Hughes' family that he was the cellmate who died. They say as soon as they realized the error, they put Hughes in touch with his loved ones. Officials say Beatty's death appears to be suicide. The Corrections Department says ECI is the state's largest prison and is extremely well-run.
