Death Row Inmate Found Dead in Mont. Prison
By Associated Press
Published: 02/09/2004

A killer hanged himself in his cell last Monday, becoming the fourth inmate since July to commit suicide in the prison that houses Montana's death row.
Rodney Sattler, 36, made a noose out of bed sheets and shoelaces and tied it to a vent at the Montana State Prison, officials said.
Sattler, 36, was awaiting execution for the 1995 murder of fellow jail inmate Ray Martinson. Sattler bludgeoned Martinson to death with the seat post from an exercise bicycle, claiming self-defense.
No execution date had been set.
Sattler was previously convicted of another slaying, for which he got a 30-year prison sentence.
