The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says an inmate has hanged himself in the Monroe County Jail.
A jail deputy making the rounds about 5:30 this morning found a male inmate hanging from a bed sheet tied to the cell bars. Medical staff were notified and deputies began life saving measures, but the inmate was pronounced dead about an hour later at Strong Memorial Hospital.
The Monroe County Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy, and support services are being offered to other inmates. A five-level review is underway. That's standard anytime there's a death in the Monroe County Jail.
