An inmate housed at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, who tested positive for COVID-19 while in the hospital, has passed away. The 67-year-old man died Monday morning at 1:20 am. The exact cause of his death is pending official determination from the medical examiner. Last week, TDOC confirmed more than 1,246 COVID-19 positive cases, out of 2,450 total tests, among staff and inmates at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center in Trousdale County, following a targeted testing event at the facility that began on April 28. Soon after TDOC announced the results, CoreCivic released results from the same facility that included different totals. Their results included 1,299 positive tests from inmates and 50 positive tests from staff.
