A month to the very day – indeed, almost to the very hour – after someone tried to commit suicide in the Glenn County Jail in April, someone made a similar attempt in May.
At about 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16, an unidentified inmate at the jail reportedly tried to kill himself (or, conceivably, herself). The time of the Thursday, May 16, incident was censored from the Glenn County Sheriff’s logs, but the call immediately before the event in question happened at 5:33 p.m. and the one immediately after occurred at 6:22 p.m.
Besides occurring almost exactly a month apart, the method used for the suicide tries was the same: hanging. Given the almost total lack of information provided by the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office regarding these two events, it is impossible to know whether the close correspondence between their dates, times, and method is merely coincidental or somehow related.
Regarding the April 16 incident, according to police scanner broadcasts, at about 6 p.m., emergency medical responders were dispatched to the jail for a suicide attempt. A moment later, the Glenn County Sheriff’s dispatcher specified that it was an attempted suicide by hanging.
At about 6:20 p.m., the person was transported to Glenn Medical Center.
As for the May 16 event, according to the sheriff’s log, Glenn County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ramirez responded to the Glenn County Jail for a report of an inmate who had attempted to hang himself. Sgt. Ramirez transported the inmate to Glenn Medical Center for medical clearance.
The inmate was ultimately cleared to return to the jail, and he was transported back to custody.
As with the case of the April suicide attempt, there are many questions concerning the May incident. For instance:
What is the name of the person?
Had the person previously attempted suicide?
Was the person on suicide watch of some kind?
What did the person use to hang himself?
Where did the person hang himself?
How was the person discovered?
Who discovered the person?
