SBI is investigating the death of a Guilford County inmate

State law enforcement officials are looking into the death of an inmate earlier this month at the Guilford County Jail in Greensboro.  

Twenty-nine-year-old Tyquan Equality Easton died at the detention center on November 1. 

According to a press release from the Guilford County Sheriff's Office, the death was reported to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, and Easton's family was notified the next day.

The sheriff's office has not yet received an official cause of death from the Medical Examiner.

The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is now conducting its own investigation at the request of Sheriff Danny Rogers.

The release did not report any further details, citing the ongoing investigation.

According to the News & Record, three other Guilford County inmates have died in custody this year, all at the High Point detention center.
