An inmate in the Lee County Jail was found dead in his cell Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office.

Correctional officers reportedly were conducting cell checks and serving breakfast Saturday at about 4:45 a.m. when they discovered a 39-year-old male inmate unresponsive in his cell.

Opelika Fire and Rescue and ETS medical responded, but the inmate was pronounced dead at 5:10 a.m. There did not appear to be any signs of trauma, according to the sheriff’s office.

The inmate’s name has not yet been released. Authorities said he was booked into the Lee County Detention Facility on July 17 on four failure to appear warrants, involving charges of domestic violence, misdemeanor drug possession and two traffic violations.

Russell County Sheriffs’ investigators have assumed primary investigation responsibilities, and the body has been transported to the Department of Forensic Sciences for a postmortem examination.

The results of the investigation will be submitted to the Lee County District Attorney for grand jury review.
