HOUSTON (Reuters) - A man on Texas death row became his own executioner when he committed suicide by hanging, prison officials said on Wednesday.
Deon Tumblin, 27, was found hanging by a sheet in his cell at the Polunsky Unit prison in Livingston, Texas, on Tuesday, they said.
Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the prison infirmary.
Why did they try to revive a dude on death row?
