AUSTIN, Texas - An investigation is now underway after an inmate died Friday night at the Travis County Correctional Complex.
The Travis County Sheriff s Office says that a corrections officer was conducting visual checks on April 30 when they noticed 39-year-old Nicholas Vanwhye of Austin was unresponsive in his cell.
The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to confirm the man’s identity.
On Friday, the sheriff s office released information on the incident and said search crews were still looking for a missing swimmer. Authorities said rescue crews were called around 3:10 pm on April 17 after a swimmer went missing. The man had been swimming near a boat anchored in Devil s Cove, where that water is about 35 feet deep and murky because of silt.
First responders immediately began rescue efforts but were unsuccessful so authorities shifted to a recovery mission.
The sheriff s department performed surface searches, deployed a dive team and used sonar and drone technology in its search effort.

The federal government admitted at a trial Tuesday that the Air Force failed to flag the violent past of a gunman who went on to massacre 26 people in Sutherland Springs, but the government lawyer argued that the shooter should bear most, if not all, the responsibility for the deaths.
The families and survivors of the mass shooting sued the Air Force, arguing that the government should bear most of the responsibility 65 to 70 percent for failing to report disgraced airman Devin Kelley’s domestic violence conviction to a national database that gun dealers check during firearms purchases.
