COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Two prison guards slept while on duty, one of them failed to properly conduct overnight rounds, and two others failed to conduct timely CPR on a Ohio youth found unresponsive and later pronounced dead, according to a investigation into the 17-year-old's death released Friday. The report looked at the case of Robert Wright, found dead on Aug. 31 by a guard who entered his cell at Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility in central Ohio to tell him it was time to take his morning medication. Wright had heart disease and also "amphetamine intoxication" at the time of his death, according to an earlier investigation by the state highway patrol, which said the levels of amphetamines were very low.
