LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of a Kentucky inmate who was found unresponsive at the Fayette County jail.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the jail said in a statement that 62-year-old Larry Richard Young was found unresponsive Monday and taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The statement said Young was arrested Oct. 10 on a charge of failure to appear and was awaiting trial.

Police, the Lexington coroner’s office and the jail are investigating, which officials say is routine when an in-custody death occurs.
