The death of a 25-year-old Yakima County (Wash.) Jail inmate has been ruled a suicide by the Yakima County coroner's office. Matthew David Bonato was pronounced dead Wednesday afternoon at Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center, where he had been in intensive care. The coroner's office said an autopsy Thursday concluded cause of death was "ligature strangulation due to hanging." Bonato was found hanging from a bed sheet in a lockdown cell the night of July 21, jail officials told the Yakima Herald Republic. He never regained consciousness after being rushed to the hospital. Bonato, of Yakima, had been in custody since Jan. 23 on charges of second- and third-degree assault, as well as interfering with making a police report. |
