HONOLULU (AP) — The Federal Bureau of Prisons says a 38-year-old inmate at the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu died over the weekend.

The agency says Gavin Galacia was found unresponsive in his cell at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Staff called for help and attempted to resuscitate him. An ambulance took him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

No information was released about the cause of death.

The agency said Monday the FBI is investigating, which is standard for inmate deaths at federal prisons.

The detention center houses 450 inmates, including some awaiting trial.

Galacia was serving a six-year sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
