MEXICO CITY — A murder suspect dubbed “The Cannibal” was found dead in his prison cell of an apparent suicide Tuesday, two months after police found cooked and seasoned bits of his girlfriend’s corpse on a fork and plate in his apartment.

Jose Luis Calva, a self-proclaimed poet and dramatist suspected in at least three murders, was found hanging from his belt in his Mexico City jail cell Tuesday morning, the city department of corrections said in a statement.

Prosecutors had said they also had evidence linking Calva to the death of another girlfriend whose dismembered body was found in cardboard boxes in 2004, as well as a female acquaintance whose remains were found in a suitcase earlier this year.
