VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Clark County sheriff’s spokesman says a county jail inmate hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt in jail has jumped to his death from the seventh floor of a Vancouver, Wash., medical center.
Sgt. Scott Schanaker said that last Saturday, 33-year-old Suka K. Suka of Vancouver apparently jumped from a jail upper railing onto the floor below “in what may have been a suicide attempt.”
He was taken the PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and was unconscious until he awoke early Tuesday morning.
The spokesman says the inmate used a small table to break the window in his hospital room and jumped, despite a sheriff’s office employee’s attempt to stop him.
