A resident at the Lansing Correctional Facility has died.

 25-year-old Angel Pedro Lara died yesterday morning after a short illness. Staff and Emergency Medical Service personnel administered life-saving measures and transported Lara to a local hospital where he eventually died. The cause of death is pending the results of an independent autopsy.

 Per protocol, when a resident dies in the custody of the Kansas Department of Corrections, the death is under investigation by the KDOC and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The investigation is ongoing.

 Lara was serving a 123-month sentence for convictions of 2nd-degree murder in Sedgwick County, Kansas.

 The Lansing Correctional Facility only serves males and maintains maximum and medium units totaling 1,920 beds and a 512-bed minimum security unit.
