An inmate at the Bristol County House of Correction in Dartmouth is dead after an apparent hanging.

According to Gregg Miliote, spokesperson for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, 47-year-old Michael T. Ray, of Fall River, was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Faunce Corner Road facility at approximately 6:30 a.m. on June 10. He was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford where he was pronounced dead less than an hour later.

No foul play is suspected, Miliote said, but an investigation is ongoing, as it is standard procedure to investigate unattended deaths.
