31-year-old Tallahassee federal prison inmate dies after being found unresponsive

An inmate has died after being found unresponsive at Tallahassee’s low security Federal Correctional Institution.

After Shauna Maryann Boselli was found unresponsive, “responding employees initiated life-saving measures,” according to a news release from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

“Emergency medical services (EMS) were requested and life-saving efforts continued,” the news release said. “Ms. Boselli was transported by EMS to a local hospital and subsequently pronounced deceased by hospital personnel.”

The release did not specify any cause of death, rather noting that “no employees or other incarcerated individuals were injured and at no time was the public in danger.”

The Democrat has asked the bureau if the case is being investigated or if there were any indications as to the cause of death.

The news release noted that Boselli had been in custody since November 2023 and was a 31-year-old woman serving a 40-year sentence for Enticement of a Minor. According to Tampa-area news reports, Boselli and her husband received 40 years in federal prison and a life sentence, respectively, for having sex with a seven-year-old girl.

FCI Tallahassee consists of a low-security women’s prison – Ghislaine Maxwell is perhaps its most famous current inmate – and a detention center, or jail, where men and women are temporarily held pending trial or after sentencing, for example.

A month ago, a 31-year-old man being held at the detention center also died in custody. Keondrae Andon Neely, who had been awaiting transfer since April to a federal prison after being sentenced in a South Florida court to 20 years on robbery and firearm charges. Neely had been under observation as “a disruptive individual” when he “became unresponsive.”

No indication of cause of death was released in that case either.
