A prisoner that Escaped by in a Mississippi prison last month was found dead at a truck stop in New Orleans, authorities said Tuesday, putting one of four suspects who escaped from the facility on the run.
A security guard found the body of 34-year-old Casey Grayson in the doorway of a pickup truck on Sunday. Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones told reporters.
Malicious intent does not appear to have played a role, Jones said. Investigators found suspected narcotics and drug paraphernalia near his body, Jones said.
An autopsy will determine how Grayson died, Jones said.
Corey Harrison is the only inmate who escaped from Raymond Detention Center on April 22 and remained free. Jones said the investigation into his whereabouts continues.

Jerry Raynes, 51, was captured Thursday in Spring Valley, Texas. Dylan Arrington, 22, is believed to have died after a shootout with the authorities the day before.
Arrington is suspected of barricading himself in a home in Leake County, Mississippi, and opening fire on responding officers, authorities said. A sheriff’s deputy was wounded and the house caught fire during the gunfight.
The suspected shooter’s body was so badly burned that officials said DNA testing might be needed to confirm the person’s identity.
Arrington is suspected of fatally shooting a pastor before the gunfight after he stopped to assist in a motorcycle accident, authorities said. After shooting Reverend Anthony Watts, 62, the gunman stole his red Dodge Ram.
