A Pennsylvania man serving a 13-month sentence at the United States Penitentiary in Florence died there on Sunday.
Timothy Sowinski, 57, was found unresponsive at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday morning and he died after lifesaving measures failed to revive him, according to a news release from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. Sowinski was sent to the high-security prison on Sept. 29 for a supervised release violation.
The cause of death is unknown. The FBI was notified of the in-custody death, the news release stated.
Sowinski needed treatment for multiple psychiatric and medical conditions, including schizoaffective disorder, drug and alcohol abuse, ADHD and neck, back and foot pain, according to a judgment document filed in January in federal court.
Sowinski pleaded guilty in 2022 to bank robbery and attempted bank robbery in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The most recent sentence was for violating his probation conditions.
The last inmate to die at the Florence penitentiary was a 43-year-old Maryland man who also was found unresponsive. That death was reported in April.
