Prison officials in Nevada say a 51-year-old woman who was serving four consecutive sentences of life in prison with the possibility of parole has died after a fight with another inmate.
The Nevada Department of Corrections said Monday that Marnie M. Peot was pronounced dead Friday in a cell at the Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center in Las Vegas.
A statement says Peot had been checked by medical staff after the fight and was believed to have had minor injuries.
