DATELINE: WYTHEVILLE LENGTH: Short
Ronnie Douglas Davis had complained of breathing problems Tuesday night, according to Wythe County Sheriff's Office Investigator Keith Dunigan.
Dunigan said Davis refused to seek treatment or transportation to a hospital, according to people who were with him, because he feared he would be arrested. He had been sentenced to six years and nine months in prison under a plea agreement after originally having been charged with rape.
He was sentenced in his absence.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
