By Jim DeFede, CBS Miami May 2, 2021 The current theory on Michael Hernandez's death inside the Columbia Correctional Institution is that the 31-year-old died from a possible drug overdose, according to two sources familiar with the matter. There were no signs he had been attacked by any other inmates and the prison has video of him collapsing to the ground. He was formally declared dead at a medical center in Lake City near the prison. An autopsy will be performed and the FDLE will investigate. CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
