Inmate’s death a homicide
The death of Oconee jail inmate Michael Calvin McMahan is a homicide. This ruling by the coroner follows an autopsy revealing 24-year-old McMahan died from a blunt force injury consistent with being assaulted by someone. “SLED” – the state police – are investigating. Detention guards, while serving breakfast around 5:30 Saturday morning, found McMahan unresponsive in his cell. Resuscitation efforts were made, but McMahan died about 45 minutes later.
