Hanging Death Ruled Suicide
By Associated Press
Published: 03/27/2006

A preliminary autopsy report says an Alabama woman hanged herself last week in Alabama's Lawrence County Jail.
Coroner Greg Randolph says he received the report Tuesday on 30-year-old Sheila Mullins from the state Department of Forensic Science.
The report did not include toxicology information, such as the level of alcohol, if any, in Mullins' blood. It will be months before that's available, Randolph says.
But he says the preliminary autopsy report will allow him to issue a death certificate for Mullins. Jailers found her hanging by a sheet in her cell.
She was isolated because jailers said she was unruly after Trinity police arrested her for illegal possession of prohibited liquor and resisting arrest.
The Alabama Bureau of Investigation has concluded its probe into Mullins' death and says there was no foul play by jail.
