No foul play suspected in St. Bernard prison death

AP Reporting
Authorities in St. Bernard Parish say foul play is not suspected in the
death of a female inmate at the parish prison.

Sheriff James Pohlmann says that 19-year-old Nimali Henry had been jailed
for almost two weeks after a domestic dispute.

She was found unresponsive on the floor of her cell at about 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Pohlmann says officials tried to revive Henry but she was pronounced dead a
short time later.

Records show Henry was arrested March 21 after a disturbance at a home in
the 1800 block of Suzi Drive. She was booked with disturbing the peace,
simple battery and unauthorized entry.
