Teen Found Dead at Facility
By Associated Press
Published: 10/17/2005

A corrections officer found Willie Lawrence Durden of Jacksonville FL unconscious in his cell at the Cypress Creek Juvenile Offender Corrections Center last week.
The teen was later pronounced dead at a hospital. A spokesman for the state Department of Juvenile Justice says no signs of trauma or a suicide note were found in the teen's cell.
The spokesman also says Durden did not have any known health problems. The state corrections spokesman says there's no reason to believe that this is anything but a natural death.
The teen was convicted for the armed robbery of a pizza delivery man in August 2004.
Authorities say Durden had been at the Citrus County facility about a year, and could have been released in January for good behavior.
