CLARK COUNTY, Wash. — An inmate of the Clark County Jail — injured in an apparent suicide attempt there Saturday and taken to a hospital — died early Tuesday when he jumped out the seventh-floor window of his room at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, police say.
Suka K. Suka, 33, of Vancouver used a small table to break the window and jumped to his death, according to a bulletin from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
A sheriff’s custody officer who was guarding Suka in the hospital room tried unsuccessfully to stop him, the bulletin said. The bulletin didn’t reveal whether she struggled with Suka or exactly what happened.
