The Illinois family of a Chicago man who apparently committed suicide in his cell at the Lake County Jail is suing the sheriff's department. James Hunt, 29, was booked into the jail July 30 on a theft charge. A county corrections officer found him hanged Aug. 3. He'd apparently tied a bed sheet to a cell window. The lawsuit alleges the jail staff neglected Hunt, who was a heroin addict undergoing withdrawal. The family filed suit in U.S. District Court in Hammond. |
