An elderly inmate of the Bucks County Correctional Facility died recently.
The Bucks County Department of Corrections said on Wednesday that Robert Peterson, 84, of Quakertown, was pronounced dead on Saturday, January 20, at Doylestown Hospital.
The death of the inmate was “believed to be of natural causes and is not under investigation by the DOC at this time,” a statement said.
The Bucks County Coroner’s Office said they were not investigating the death.
Peterson had been in Doylestown Hospital for a week before he died.
