An Ely State Prison inmate killed himself Thursday in a barricaded cell.
According to White Pine County Sheriff Dan Watts, the deputy coroner was sent to the Smith Valley prison after Timothy Lee Redman hung himself.
Redman, 45, had barricaded his cell, jamming the sliding door and refusing to remove the obstacle.
Watts said prison maintenance staff was needed to remove the door before the deputy coroner could examine the body.
Before hanging himself with his shoelaces, Redman had brandished a prison-made weapon – some type of metal rod with a handmade handle.
Redman originally was sentenced to 15 years in Clark County for armed robbery. He later was sentenced to additional 20-year terms for two counts of battery by a prisoner in custody.
Watts said the investigation is ongoing.
