(AP) -- HARRISON, Mich. - The Clare County Sheriff's Department says a 44-year-old jail inmate apparently killed himself by slitting arteries in his arms.

The Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant says Ronald W. Ross of Spring Lake was found bleeding profusely in the shower. The jail is in Harrison, about 90 miles north of Lansing.

Sheriff John S. Wilson says Ross was conscious when guards at the county jail found him but died later Friday.
