An inmate in the Elmore Correctional Facility died on Saturday two days after he was found beaten in his dorm, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The death of David Sanders, 41, is being investigated as a homicide, ADOC said in a Saturday night press release.

Corrections officers found Sanders unresponsive in a dorm of the Elmore Correctional Facility on Thursday. He was badly beaten. Sanders was flown by medical helicopter to a Montgomery hospital.

Four inmates are suspected of causing Sanders' death. They have been moved to a maximum security prison.

The suspects' names and details of the incident aren't being released due to the pending investigation, ADOC said.

According to ADOC records, Sanders was serving a life sentence out of Lee County for trafficking in methamphetamine.

ADOC originally released the wrong mugshot and age for the deceased. This story was updated with the correct information at 9:13 p.m.
