Warden Marty Anderson says that Castro-Rodriquez, who was from southern Florida and has been incarcerated at the Fed Med since 2002, did not have a cell mate.
Anderson says that the FBI is in charge of investigating the inmate death, "because they have law enforcement jurisdiction over federal prisons."
