Currently, Gibson is still at SCI Camp Hill but he will be transferred to another prison in accordance to Department of Corrections (DOC), the release said.

According to the Pennsylvania DOC, the superintendent of SCI Camp Hill reported Beattie was found unresponsive in his cell earlier Tuesday. Prison staff immediately responded and provided life-saving measures until the Lower Allen EMS arrived and advanced life support measures were continued.

Beattie was pronounced dead at 8:16 a.m.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections says that Beattie was serving 22-25 years for burglary and had been at SCI Camp Hill since February 2023.
