TUCSON, AZ -- The Arizona Department of Corrections says a prison inmate has died at a Tucson hospital after being taken off life support.
 
Corrections officials say William Englebert was transported to St. Mary's Hospital on Aug. 16 because of a possible drug overdose and was placed on life support.
