According to a release by the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office, an inmate who escaped from a secured compartment of a transport van on US-127 on Thursday morning has succumbed to his injuries.

The inmate is being identified as 25-year-old Tylor Lee Ormsbee of Kalamazoo. Ormsbee had been sentenced for a probation violation and was being transported to the custody of the Michigan Department of Correction when the incident occurred.

Further information will be released once the Michigan State Police conclude the criminal investigation, and the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association Mission Team has completed the internal investigation.

The Sheriff's Office asks to keep Tylor Ormsbee’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
