A Michigan inmate was found dead of apparent suicide at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility yesterday. Michael Alfred Ridge was found dead in his cell this weekend, according to recently released reports from the facility.

Officers say that Ridge pleaded guilty on September 12th to first-degree felony murder after shooting his wife three times. Ridge had been recently sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The autopsy reports will not be available for a few weeks, according to authorities. Officials declined to release any more information about the incident.
