A Wisconsin prisoner found hanging in his cell Tuesday at the La Crosse County Jail has died. Jail staffers performed CPR on 25-year-old Leonard Harvey when they found him with no heartbeat. Emergency crews rushed him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead yesterday morning. Sheriff Michael Weissenberger calls it a tragedy and says his staff had no indication Harvey was suicidal. The sheriff says he'll ask an outside sheriff's department and the district attorney to conduct an investigation. Harvey's apparent suicide comes three months after a teenage inmate took his life. Harvey was being held on 18 felony charges including drug trafficking and illegal firearm possession. |
