Woody Harrelson's Dad Found Dead in Supermax Cell

Woody Harrelson's 69-year-old father Charles was found dead in his cell at Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado where he was serving his sentence for killing a federal judge in Texas. Authorities say he died of a heart attack. No one noticed. In the morning, they say, it just looked like he was sleeping peacefully. Don't they have 24-hour monitoring there? Why didn't any of the guards notice he was in distress? The authorities say it appeared very sudden. Will they do an autopsy? I hope so. We all know about the understaffing at Supermax. Sen. Salazar and Attorney General Gonzales toured the facility recently. But, they were concerned about security, not the health and welfare of the prisoners.
