An Oklahoma death row inmate was hospitalized Thursday after being found unresponsive in his cell, officials said, just hours after being granted clemency on the same day he was scheduled to be executed.

Forty-six-year-old Tremane Wood was granted clemency Thursday morning by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt. After that decision came down, Wood met with his attorneys for "several hours," according to a statement from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. The agency said it then moved him off death row and into a new cell.

At some point, a correctional officer found Wood "unresponsive" in his new cell, the department said, and prison staff determined that he had "experienced a medical event that resulted in injuries."
