Combs Reportedly Treated for Head Injury After Prison Fight

Sean Combs was reportedly taken from the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix for medical treatment of a head injury on October 10, then returned to the prison before sunrise, according to accounts attributed to unnamed sources. A separate report published October 14 alleged that the injury followed a fight with fellow inmate Christopher Coke, an account prison authorities have not publicly confirmed. The reported transport occurred at about 1 a.m. An ambulance left the New Jersey prison with Combs, according to sources cited in a report published October 12. Those sources said he was conscious and speaking when he returned. The reports do not establish which medical facility treated him or what treatment he received. The later account attributed the alleged confrontation to resentment among inmates after prison searches and confiscations of mobile phones. Those searches reportedly followed allegations about Combs’s conditions and access to prohibited items while incarcerated. The explanation for the reported injury, like the alleged fight itself, remains unconfirmed; the accounts trace principally to unnamed prison sources cited in the same initial reporting.
