LAS ANIMAS, Colo.—The death of a convicted sex offender who died earlier this month in a Bent County prison has been ruled a suicide.
County Coroner Dave Roberts said Friday that Geoffrey A. Scheid suffocated himself by putting a plastic bag over his head.
Scheid was serving a 16-year sentence from a sex assault in Adams County. He appealed his conviction in 2007, but his sentence was upheld.
Scheid was found dead at the medium-security Bent County Correctional Facility on Nov. 1. He was 58.
