Kent A. McDonald, was convicted of child molestation in 2002 and sentenced. He wasn't expected to get out anytime soon, having a release date of sometime in 2030.
However, McDonald will not be serving out the rest of his time at any of the fine Indiana Department of Correction facilities.
Cause he is dead.
I'm not suggesting that there is any sort of "prison justice" going on over in Indiana, but I can't help but be reminded of a little tattoo story involving yet another one of their sexual predators.
Add to it that the death of McDonald was ruled a homicide today, and that no one is really talking other than to say that he was found dead in his bunk, and that they are "investigating" it... and well- people might start to wonder.
UPDATE:
Blunt force trauma to head and chest seems to be cause of death, although the why and how haven't yet been answered. Investigators are looking closely at his cellmate.

State Police are investigating the death of a convicted child molester whose body was found in his cell at the Pendleton Correctional Facility.
Prison spokesman Neil Potter said Kent A. McDonald, 44, of North Vernon was found dead in his cell Friday by staff at the prison about 20 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Detective Bob May, the state police’s lead investigator on the case, declined comment late Friday, saying he had yet to interview inmates concerning McDonald’s death.
