CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of an inmate at the detention center.

“We are devastated by the loss of Mr. Mangan,” stated Sheriff McFadden, “anyone who enters our facility is apart of our detention community and I am deeply saddened; our condolences are with his family.”
