Death in Linn County Jail Under Suspicious Circumstances
A 33-year-old man died by hanging in a Linn County jail intake cell Sunday afternoon as a fellow inmate slept nearby. Authorities say he wrapped a telephone cord around his neck, was found unconscious, and died at Mercy Medical Center of asphyxiation. Cedar Rapids police had arrested him earlier for public intoxication with a blood alcohol level near twice the legal limit. Sheriff Don Zeller noted constant surveillance in the cell area and said the other prisoner slept through the incident.
