CLAREMORE, Okla. — The friend of an inmate found dead in the Rogers County Jail Monday says she saw his death coming.
Leslie Paul Jones, 47, electrocuted himself early Monday morning, according to a source close to the investigation. Jones’ body was discovered next to his CPAP machine, a piece of equipment used to treat sleep apnea.
Lori Hamilton says she received a letter from Jones last month she believes indicated he might try to take his own life. Hamilton, who recalled befriending the man more than two years ago on Facebook, read a particularly curious excerpt of the letter to 2NEWS reporter Dan Pearlman Monday.
