UTAH STATE PRISON — The Utah Department of Corrections has placed three additional employees on administrative leave as it investigates the death of an inmate who didn't receive his dialysis treatment. On April 5, Ramon C. Estrada, 62, died from apparent cardiac arrest resulting from kidney failure. Estrada and six other inmates were scheduled to receive dialysis on April 3 from a University of Utah South Valley Dialysis Center contractor who was supposed to go to the prison. But that person did not show up on either April 3 or April 4. Estrada died while officials were preparing to take him to University Hospital to be treated. It was unknown if or how long Estrada was exhibiting signs of being in distress prior to his death. "The department's preliminary internal review indicates that the failure to provide Estrada with dialysis at the prison's on-site clinic could be a contributing factor in his death," the prison said in a prepared statement Thursday.
