GREENVILLE, S.C. — Two inmates have been found dead in their housing units at the Greenville County Detention Center.
Greenville County Coroner Parks Evans said in a news release that the men were unresponsive when paramedics got to the jail Thursday and that the inmates were pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.
He identified them as Allan Lindsay Zach, 36, and Randy Eugene Broome, 45.
Jail records for the two men were not available but The Greenville News reported in December 2020 Zach was arrested on felony DUI charges.
Autopsies were conducted Friday morning. Evans said cause and manner of death remain under investigation.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is handling the investigation. Spokesperson Renee Wunderlich said no further details on the investigation were available Friday morning.
The Greenville News in January reported that 27 people had died at the jail between 2008 and 2020 after an inmate died at the Greenville County Detention Center.
That inmate's mother told The Greenville News her son, David Kenneth Posey, had hanged himself and was under suicide watch.
