Edwards was serving a sentence of 38 months to 120 months for charges including robbery, battery causing substantial bodily harm and carrying a concealed weapon. He entered department custody on June 16 from Clark County.
The release did not disclose a cause of death. Corrections officials did not immediately respond to requests for additional information Thursday.
