FORT LAUDERDALE - A Palm Beach Gardens man hanged himself while in custody at the Broward Main Jail on Tuesday, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

John Hammond, 38, was found by a deputy conducting a security check at about 9 p.m., officials said. Hammond's cellmate told the deputy what had happened.

The deputy tried to revive Hammond, who was pronounced dead at Broward General Medical Center, authorities said.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Hammond on Oct. 27 in Dania Beach and charged him with grand theft auto, leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage and other traffic-related charges.

Hammond was not in the segment of the jail reserved for inmates considered suicide risks, a sheriff's spokeswoman said. Officials did not say what Hammond used to hang himself.

Hammond's is the sixth suicide in a Broward County jail since August 2008.

Maybe he was afraid he would have to see those bitches from "Women of Broward County" every damn day... that'd push me over the edge.

Hey, come on now. I like the Women Of Broward County.
That blond sounds like a dog barking whenever she screams "HANDS HANDS HANDS!"
And Ana... she has some sort of sixth sense when it comes to liars... BUT... the parts she patrols... if their lips are moving, they are lying.
And I do so like the black woman.

The blonde barking one reminds me of Kendra from The Girls Next Door minus the sexy gene.

Maybe he was just done?

we will taste the islands and the sea

I know that some night
in some bedroom
soon
my fingers will
rift
through
soft clean
hair

songs such as no radio
plays

all sadness, grinning
into flow.

Don't you wish some higher profile Florida inmates would do the same thing and save us taxpayers a whole bunch of money. I would think and hope that being in jail waives their families rights to sue us taxpayers.... but ya know Cindy and George would find a pro bono lawyer to sue us taxpayers for not keeping a baby killer alive against her own wishes.....

Casey is way too famous now to kill herself and miss the show.
