HOULTON (AP) — The Maine medical examiner’s office has ruled the death of an Aroostook County Jail inmate a suicide.
Law enforcement officials said Tuesday that the victim was 48-year-old Robert Doody, who was jailed for importation of drugs and for a probation violation. State police say he was from Caribou and Washburn.
Police say Doody was found hanging from a bed sheet tied to a shower fixture on Thursday. Doody was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to Eastern Maine Medical Center, where he died Sunday.
