A federal inmate has died while in custody.
Guards found the 25-year-old dead in his cell early Wednesday morning. His family wants to know what went wrong.
Federal authorities arrested Albert Martin Gomez Jr. On January 20.
He was accused of making and passing fake $100 bills. He and a co-defendant were charged in a counterfeit-money ring.
Gomez was released, but was back at a federal holding facility in March, awaiting sentencing.
Around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday guards found Gomez unresponsive.
Sources say Gomez died from an apparent drug overdose, but nobody is talking.
Meanwhile, toxicology reports are pending. Bexar County records show Gomez was also arrested in 2005 on an assault charge.
The autopsy was completed, but details aren't being released. The Central Texas Detention Facility where Gomez was being held is operated by the GEO Group, Inc.
A spokesperson had no comment on the death, only to say it is under investigation.
