HOULTON, Maine - 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.
State police investigated as it does all jail and prison deaths. The sheriff's department said it's working with the Maine Department of Corrections to conduct a review of jail procedures.
