The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is conducting an investigation surrounding the death of an inmate.
Nathan Holmberg, 34, an inmate at Falkenburg Road Jail, was discovered unresponsive by staff on March 30, 2026. Holmberg was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased at 10:14 p.m. on April 3, 2026. Preliminarily, it appears that Holmberg died by suicide.
The Medical Examiner's Office is investigating the official cause of death. Holmberg's next of kin were notified.
Holmberg was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on March 25, 2026, where he was in custody on two counts of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation (victim under 12, defendant over 18) and two counts of Promotion of a Sexual Performance by a Child. These charges stem from evidence uncovered during a broader investigation that originated in Hernando County. During that investigation, detectives located evidence on a cellular device tied to offenses in Hillsborough County dating back to 2018. Holmberg was also awaiting a grand jury indictment on an additional 47 counts of child sexual abuse material charges in Pinellas County.
The investigation is ongoing, and the Public Affairs Office will provide any updates.
