A man facing charges of domestic battery and methamphetamine suffocated himself to death with a plastic bag in the DeKalb County Jail early Saturday, authorities said.
Robert Warstler, 30, of Auburn, was found unresponsive in his cell with a garbage bag over his head about 2 a.m. during an hourly jail inspection, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department said.
After trying to resuscitate him, DeKalb County EMS medics pronounced Warstler dead. DeKalb County Coroner Jeff Warner ruled his death a suicide.
Warstler was in jail awaiting jury trials on two cases from September. He was facing charges, among others, of dealing meth and domestic battery with a child present.
