Medical personnel responded and life saving measures were performed. Carpenter was pronounced dead at the prison at about 7:48 a.m. The Georgia Department of Corrections is conducting an investigation into the death as standard procedure.
Carpenter was sentenced in Cherokee County in 2016 to serve 20 years for Armed Robbery.
