A local sheriff's office said goodbye to one of their own on Thursday, when he died at his home.

Officials with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office said that deputy Jonathan Lyle was found unresponsive and pronounced dead.

In addition to being a member of the sheriff's office,  Lyle was also featured in a primary role on season 3, episode 13 of A&E's Beyond Scared Straight.

While the department released few details, they did provide a statement confirming the death late Thursday evening.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a good deputy and friend," Sheriff Tim Burkhalter announced by way of social media. "We ask for the entire community to surround the Lyle family and our law enforcement family with their thoughts and prayers."
