LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Tecumseh prison inmate has died at a Lincoln hospital.

State officials say 83-year-old James Malina died a little before 7 p.m. Monday.

The cause of his death hasn't been determined yet, but he was being treated for a medical condition.

The officials say he'd been serving a sentence of 89 years to 170 years for several counts of sexual assault and two counts of child abuse in Dodge County.

He started serving the sentence in 1996.
