Here's what we know from authorities:

Martin’s sentence began on November 6, 2008. He was serving a 35 to 40-year sentence for second-degree sexual assault of a child out of Custer County.

While the cause of death has not yet been determined, Martin was being treated for a medical condition.

As is the case whenever an inmate dies in the custody of the NDCS, a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
