Charles Lee Reynolds, Jr., the inmate at the Cascade County Detention Center who died after being found hanging in his cell on Sunday, likely committed suicide.

Lewis & Clark County Coroner Mickey Nelson is investigating the death; all inmate deaths must be investigated, according to statute.

Nelson tells us that Reynolds used bedsheets and parts of his detention center uniform, and that there does not appear to be any evidence of foul play.

Reynolds was found at approximately 2:44 p.m. on Sunday, February 5th. Detention staff and Great Falls police officers performed CPR until medical personal relieved them.

Reynolds was then transported to Benefis hospital where he was pronounced dead 3:25 p.m.
