A teacher charged with the rape of a 14-year-old pupil was found deceased in his prison cell on September, 26 under strange circumstances. Brandon Holbrook, 30, was a substitute teacher working at Bernard Middle School in St Louis, Missouri when he allegedly sexually assaulted the young student.
Brandon Holbrook was found unresponsive and propped up in an upright form in his cell by St Louis County prison staff who quickly discovered he was dead, the Mirror reports. Staff carried out emergency CPR on Holbrook and administered Narcan, a drug which revokes the body's reaction to an overdose, after they suspected the prisoner had committed suicide.
However, his death remains a mystery and police are still questioning how he passed. Officers arrived to his cell at around 3.15pm and found Brandon to be perfectly normal but just 30 minutes later he was found unconscious.
