Foul play not suspected in death

GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) — Walsh County Sheriff Lauren Wild says no foul play is suspected in the death of a county jail inmate.

Forty-five-year-old Fred Houle of Grafton was found unresponsive in his cell early Friday morning with a bed sheet wrapped around his neck and hanging from an intercom box. Attempts to resuscitate him failed.

Wild said Houle was alone in the cell.
