'It is with great sadness that I confirm the tragic death of Correction Officer Andrew Lansing,' Director Annette Chambers-Smith said.
'Officer Lansing is a long-time, well-respected employee at Ross, and his untimely death is heartbreaking for his family, the entire Ross Correctional Institution family, and our agency as a whole. He was a friendly, outgoing officer who treated everyone with respect and was always a professional,' Chambers-Smith added. 'The loss of a staff person is difficult, but to lose a family member on Christmas Day at the hands of someone in our custody is a tragedy beyond comprehension,' Chambers-Smith added.
