Woman found dead in Bucks County prison

Authorities are investigating the death of a female inmate in Bucks County prison who was discovered early Sunday morning, county Spokesman Chris Edwards said.

Edwards said preliminary reports do not indicate foul play. But officials are awaiting the results of an autopsy that was scheduled for today.

The county is withholding the woman's name as the district attorney's office and the coroner continue their investigation, which has so far included interviews of the woman's two cell mates.

The woman was 29 and in prison for a few days after being charged with credit card fraud, Edwards said.
