An Alabama state prison inmate died Sunday, several weeks after he was hospitalized with significant health issues.
Joseph Curtis Allen, a 50-year-old William Donaldson Correctional Facility inmate, was taken to UAB Hospital on Jan. 8 to be treated for multiple heath issues, said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates.
Allen died Sunday at UAB Hospital. Yates said there was no evidence of trauma or foul play in his death.
