(AP) — A grand jury has found that no crime was involved in the death of a Gage County inmate this past summer.
Authorities say Chad Gesin hanged himself in a jail cell on July 4 after he was arrested for assault and domestic assault. The Gage County Sheriff’s Office says Gesin was taken to the jail at about 5:15 p.m. and was discovered hanging in his cell just after 7 p.m. The 30-year-old died July 9 at a Lincoln hospital
The case was presented to the grand jury on Monday morning. The jury ruled later in the day that there was no criminal conduct in Gesin’s death.
State law requires a grand jury inquiry whenever someone dies in custody or while being arrested.
