The number of Alaska prison inmate deaths so far this year has surpassed last year’s toll, after the death of an inmate in the Mat-Su Borough over the weekend. According to an Alaska Department of Corrections statement, 70-year-old Freddie Lee Fox died Sunday evening. Court records show Fox had been held at the Goose Creek Correctional Center since 2020 awaiting trial on arson, assault and murder charges, after he allegedly started a fire in Anchorage that left one person dead.
