MCCOOK, Neb. -- An inmate at the Work Ethic Camp in McCook died on Saturday.

Officials said 47-year-old Robert Weindorff passed away at a McCook hospital.

According to authorities, Weindorff began his sentence at WEC on Feb. 2, 2022. He had been charged with possession and distribution of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) in Buffalo County. He was serving a sentence of three years to 10 years and 45 days

Officials said they have not determined the cause of death but  Weindorff did have a medical condition that he was receiving treatment for at that time.

As is the case whenever an inmate dies in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS), a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
