Montgomery inmate found dead
CONROE, Texas — A Montgomery County jail inmate was found dead, hanging in
his cell from a bed sheet tied to the bars.
The Houston Chronicle reported Saturday that 39-year-old Earl Handy Jr. was
discovered early Friday. Deputies administered CPR before Handy was taken to
Conroe Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities said Handy, who was deaf, was being housed in a segregation cell
for medical reasons.
Willis police had charged Handy with capital murder in the January stabbing
death of his wife, 34-year-old Donna Handy, and with aggravated assault in
the knife attack on Joseph Taylor.
The sheriff’s major crimes unit and the Texas Rangers are investigating the
hanging death.
