SCI Benner prisoner found dead of apparent suicide

BELLEFONTE — A 40-year-old man incarcerated at SCI Benner, 301 Institution Drive, Benner Township, was found deceased inside his cell on April 11, according to state police at Rockview.

After being located, police said life saving measures were attempted on the victim, Keith Levan, but were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Based on surveillance footage, police believe the man committed suicide sometime between 6:26 and 8:41 p.m.

Police said the footage confirmed the victim was alone in his cell at the time the suicide took place.

“All interviews and investigation confirm that no foul play took place,” the police said in a statement.

No information about the means of his death were made available.

Levan, formerly of Berwick, was incarcerated for violating sexual offender registration requirements stemming from a Columbia County conviction. He was charged in 2021 after authorities said he failed to update his address and did not attend a required Megan’s Law appointment with state police, according to NorthCentralPA.com.
