Las Vegas, NV – The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) has confirmed the deaths of three inmates in its custody last week at two prisons near Las Vegas.
The deceased have been identified as Marc McCurdy, 70, Montana Munday, 36, and Craig Crosby, 55. McCurdy passed away on Thursday at Southern Desert Correctional Center in Indian Springs, while Munday and Crosby died on Friday and Saturday, respectively, at High Desert State Prison, also in Indian Springs.
Indian Springs, located about 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas, houses multiple correctional facilities, but the NDOC has not disclosed whether the deaths were related or if foul play is suspected. Officials have confirmed that autopsies have been requested for all three inmates to determine the causes of death.
According to NDOC records, McCurdy and Crosby were both serving sentences for third-offense DUI, while Munday was incarcerated for robbery with a deadly weapon enhancement.
The lack of details surrounding the circumstances of their deaths raises questions, but prison officials have yet to provide further clarification. Families of the deceased and the broader community await the findings of the autopsies.
This incident adds to the growing concerns about inmate welfare within Nevada’s prison system. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are expected to release more details in the coming days.
