Friends of Nasih Khalil Ra’id say he was struggling to cope with conditions at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. The facility houses the U.S. prison bureau’s “Special Confinement Unit,” or federal death row.

The U.S. prison bureau reported the only Indiana resident on federal death row became unresponsive and died Friday. A spokesperson for the bureau declined to explain what caused Nasih Ra'id to become unresponsive.
