Inmate Bryan Conrad, 50, was found unresponsive in his cell by prison staff on Monday, superintendent Michael Gourley said in a press release.

Conrad is the second SCI-Camp Hill inmate found dead in his cell this week.
Tuesday morning, inmate Bernard Grover (Alias: Kevin Beattie), 57, from Philadelphia, was also found dead in his cell. Grover's death was ruled a homicide after investigators noted several injuries on his body.
