Ulat died at 1:38 p.m. Wednesday at Valley Hospital Medical Center, the release said.
The release did not say why Ulat was at Valley Hospital or how long he had been hospitalized. The corrections department was not available to give further details Wednesday night.
The Clark County coroner's office will determine Ulat's cause and manner of death, the release said.
