NEW BOSTON, TX (KSLA) -

A memorial service is set for Saturday for the Barry Telford Unit officer who died last week of injuries allegedly suffered at the hands of an inmate.

Timothy Davison, 47, was escorting 37-year-old Billy Joel Tracy back to his cell when prison officials say the inmate began struggling with the corrections officer. A prison spokesperson says Tracy was able to get control of "an object," which was used in the assault on Davison.

Davison was taken by medical helicopter to CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System in Texarkana, where he died from his injuries.

A full review of the incident conducted by the Texas Department of of Criminal Justice under the supervision of the state's Inspector General's Office, was expected to get under way this week.
