An inmate has died after being found unconscious at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee.
After Shauna Maryann Boselli was found unconscious, “responding staff initiated life-saving measures,” according to a press release from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
“Emergency medical services (EMS) were requested and life-saving efforts continued,” the press release said. “Ms. Boselli was transported by EMS to a local hospital and was later pronounced deceased by hospital personnel.”
The statement did not specify any cause of death, but noted that “no staff or other incarcerated individuals were injured and at no time was the public in danger.”
The Democrat asked the agency if the case is being investigated or if there is any indication of the cause of death.
The press release noted that Boselli had been in custody since November 2023 and was a 31-year-old woman serving a 40-year sentence for solicitation of a minor. According to reports from the Tampa area, Boselli and her husband were sentenced to 40 years in federal prison and life in prison, respectively, for having sex with a seven-year-old girl.
FCI Tallahassee consists of a low-security women’s prison – Ghislaine Maxwell is perhaps its most famous inmate – and a detention center, or prison, where men and women are held temporarily while awaiting trial or after sentencing, for example.
A month ago, a 31-year-old man detained at the detention center also died in custody. Keondrae Andon Neely, who had been awaiting transfer since April to a federal prison after being sentenced in a South Florida court to 20 years for robbery and firearms charges. Neely was under observation as “a disruptive individual” when he “became unresponsive.”
No indication of the cause of death has also been released in that case.
