(Harrisburg) — Dauphin County is investigating after an inmate was found hanging in his cell this morning.

The county says prison staff found 45-year-old Robert Wayne Goshorn unresponsive in his cell at 9:12 this morning.

Goshorn was charged last June with nine counts of child pornography, four counts of child pornography distribution and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.

Dauphin County says its coroner office and criminal investigation division are investigating his death.
