WINDHAM (AP) — The Department of Corrections says a prisoner has died at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham.
Officials say 36-year-old Wayne Patrick King of Lewiston died late Sunday morning. No details were released.
Maine State Police and the state medical examiner are reviewing the death.
King led police on a high-speed chase in September 2014. Jody Breton, deputy corrections commissioner, said Monday that King had served about half of his 34- month sentence for eluding an officer and other charges.
