State police say an inmate at a state prison in central Pennsylvania has been killed by his cellmate.
Troopers from the barracks in Clearfield are investigating the death of 59-year-old William Albert Keitel. Keitel was an inmate at the State Correctional Institution-Houtzdale, when he was beaten by his 43-year-old cellmate.
Police say Keitel was punched and kicked in the head on Aug. 2 and died Sunday at Altoona Hospital.
Police are not identifying the suspect while they continue the investigation, including a review of pending autopsy results.
Police say the incident happened after both men returned to their cell from work assignments about 1 p.m. that day.
