Gregory Dicus, 66, died at a medical facility inside Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City, according to NDOC spokeswoman Brooke Santina.
Dicus was committed in 1998 and was serving time for sexual assault with a victim under 16, lewdness with a minor and child abuse with substantial bodily harm, Santina said.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office coroner will determine Santina’s cause and manner of death.
