Illinois State Police say both inmates found unresponsive at the Iroquois County Jail in Watseka have now died.
47-year-old Jason Fancher of Milford died last night at an area hospital. He was found unresponsive in his jail cell at the Iroquois County Jail on Tuesday night at around 7:00.
The next day, 24-year-old Andre Maiden was found dead in his jail cell at around 11:15 a.m.
The Kankakee County Coroner’s Office has scheduled autopsies for both men.
Maiden was facing murder charges in the November stabbing death of 22-year-old Isaiah Nelson of Watseka. Fancher was being held for the December 13th murder of 54-year-old Pam Williams of Martinton.
