(Marquette Branch Prison, Michigan) – Another Upper Peninsula prison inmate is dead – as northern Michigan’s dead prisoners starts to get attention across the country.

The incident happened just before 6 p.m. Tues., Nov. 1, 2016. in Marquette, Michigan.

The latest death involves a 30-year-old inmate who was pronounced dead tonight at the Marquette Branch Prison – a maximum security prison along Lake Superior in Marquette, U.P. Breaking News has learned.

It is unclear if prison officials have notified Michigan State Police for an investigation.

Via radio, a Marquette doctor was asked to pronounce the prisoner dead at approximately 5:47 p.m.

The inmate was found unconscious in his cell at approximately 5 p.m.
Prison officials were providing CPR and asked for a doctor from U.P. health System Marquette to pronounce the prisoner dead “approximately 34 minutes into the code.”

At least six Michigan prisoners have died in the past six weeks during unusual medical events or because of neglect, according to numerous sources.

Prison officials administered epinephrine – or “an epi” – six times.

Narcan was administered one time

He was administered “D-50” one time – several people contacted U.P. Breaking News to state that the D-50 was presumably “dextrose, in case he had low blood sugar.” However it was not stated as D5W or Lactated Ringers – as we have heard for years in medical calls. This is only one of many questions in this man’s death.

Types of glucose/dextrose include:

• D5W (5% dextrose in water), which consists of 278 mmol/L dextrose

• D5NS (5% dextrose in normal saline), which, in addition, contains normal saline (0.90% w/v of NaCl).

  • D5 1/2NS 5% dextrose in half amount of normal saline (0.45% w/v of NaCl).^[1]

• D5LR (5% dextrose in lactated Ringer solution)

However the prisoner remained in flat-line aka “asystole.”

The identity of the prisoner is not known – nor are the crimes for which he was serving time.
