From the Officer Down Memorial Page: Correctional Officer Tracy Hardin died as the result of an injury suffered while struggling with an inmate at the High Desert State Prison.
Officer Hardin was speaking to the inmate about disciplinary issues when the inmate assaulted him. During the ensuing struggle Officer Hardin injured his ankle.
On January 20th, 2012, Officer Hardin was leaving the prison following his shift when he suddenly pulled into a pulloff outside of the employee parking lot. Seeing this, other officers immediately went to check on him and discovered he wasn't breathing. They immediately initiated CPR but were unable to revive him.
It was determined that a blood clot broke free from the injured ankle and caused him to suffer a fatal heart attack.
Officer Hardin had served with the Nevada Department of Corrections for five years.

The High Desert Prison is northwest of Las Vegas and is close to Cold Creek and Indian Springs.

Hopefully, the prisoner will be charged with capital murder and hopefully the media in the Las Vegas area will pick up on this story.

Thank you for your service, Officer Hardin for babysitting tre worst of the worst in Nevada.
