McMunn Jr., 29, unresponsive and dangling from the vent at 2:25 a.m. Tuesday, less than an hour after staff members saw him alive in his cell. After attempts to resuscitate him failed, he was taken to Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:04 a.m., according to Warden John Walton.
