A 25-year-old man died on Saturday at the federal prison at Fort Dix in New Jersey, prompting prison officials to notify the FBI, officials said in a statement.
Jarrette Morales was found unresponsive at 2:15 a.m. at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, according to the statement. He was pronounced dead by EMS officials.
The statement did not indicate where in the prison Morales was found, who found him, or what the cause of death was. No one else at the prison was injured, the statement said, and there was no danger to the public.
Morales was serving a 76-month sentence in Puerto Rico for convictions on conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and possession of a firearm in a drug trafficking crime, according to prison officials. He had been in custody at FCI Fort Dix since July 2, 2024.
Morales is the third inmate to die at Fort Dix this year, NJ.com reported; Javier Francisco Villalba-Reyes of Mexico died in March and Marcos Sanchez-Santana of Puerto Rico died in April. No cause of death has been released for either man.
The family of Kada Scott honored her life Sunday morning by releasing balloons on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Organizers described the event as a vigil to honor the life and memory of Scott, the 23-year-old Mount Airy woman who police say was murdered earlier this month. Police found Scott’s body Oct. 18 after a two-week search, buried in the woods behind the vacant Ada H.H. Lewis Middle School.
Scott family members who attended Sunday’s vigil included her mother, Kim Matthews, who held a sign saying “RIP Kada” with her daughter’s photo on it, and her father, Kevin Scott.

The event was held immediately before a walk to increase awareness of domestic violence.
Philadelphia native and reality TV actress Sundy Carter, who authored a book on her own experiences with domestic violence, said she and other walk organizers were already planning an event when Scott was found dead.
“When the unfortunate situation happened with Kada, we knew that this was so much bigger than us,” Carter said.
Police have said they are still determining the relationship between Scott and her accused killer, Keon King. But Carter emphasized that violence can occur even when people know each other but are not in a relationship.
Carter said the event offered a chance for Scott’s family and friends to share their stories with others.
“We just loved on each other, encouraged one another, and we turned today into something so powerful and positive,” Carter said.
Walk participants carried that feeling forward, she said.
“There were so many other domestic violence foundations and support groups that were out there and just there to give resources and everybody was just very much hands-on,” Carter said. “I think this is what the city needed.”
Participants meet at the Philadelphia Art Museum before starting the Domestic Violence Awareness walk on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025.
Carter said organizers plan to hold similar walks at least once a year.
King has been charged with murder, illegal gun possession, abuse of a corpse, robbery, and additional crimes. He was denied bail and will appear in court Nov. 3 for the first of three preliminary hearings.
Former Talking Heads front man David Byrne, in Philadelphia for a three-night stop on his latest tour, joined the “No Kings” protest in Philadelphia on Saturday to show support for the anti-Trump movement and snap a few photos with fans along the way.
Several marchers posted photos of themselves on social media with Byrne, who rode a bike during the march, which went from City Hall to Independence Mall.
Ryan Godfrey, a 54-year-old software solutions engineer, was among those who chatted with Byrne, shortly after surreptitiously taking a photo of Byrne behind him.
Godfrey attended one of Byrne’s concerts on Thursday and recognized the singer when he saw him on his bicycle alongside marchers on Market Street.
“I knew he was a big bike guy — and we had just seen him on Thursday,” Godfrey said. He decided to introduce himself.
“I said, ‘Hi, I really appreciated your concert the other night. It was amazing; thank you so much for that.’ He said, ‘Of course, thanks for enjoying it,’ and then I said, ‘And also thank you very much for being here today — this is very important, that you’re doing this,’” Godfrey recalled.
“And he said, ‘Of course. I wanted to be here for this.’”

Godfrey regretted not asking Byrne one question: How were the videos at his concert projected around the stage and on the floor without the performers casting shadows on them?
“It was a kind of magic trick that I don’t really understand,” Godfrey said. Godfrey has been a fan of Byrne’s since the ‘80s, but his interest was renewed when he saw the 1984 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense in a theater last year.
“I was sorry that I had waited that long because it was almost certainly the greatest concert film I’ve ever seen,” he said.
He said Byrne was anything but aloof with marchers.
“He was very genial, very kind and very friendly and open to interactions from everyone around him,” he said
Another fan quoted Byrne in the sign they carried in the march, then got to hold the sign next to a laughing Byrne. The message? “Love & acceptance are now ‘punk ideologies.’”
Byrne has been critical of Trump both in his music and in interviews and writings. During Saturday’s show, he mentioned the “No Kings” rally, drawing applause from the crowd, according to social media posts.
One Bluesky poster said Byrne — who can be seen carrying a camera during the protest — showed photos of himself and his band at the march on the stage backdrop during Saturday night’s concert.
