He was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center after held on sex-related charges. The ruling cited suicide by hanging, though circumstances—incomplete inmate rounds and camera malfunctions—drew continued scrutiny. The FBI and Justice Department Inspector General reviewed the case, with some critics disputing the medical examiner's conclusion and his lawyers pursuing independent analyses.
