Henry County inmate dies in cell from apparent suicide

An inmate at the Henry County jail died Saturday from an apparent suicide, Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said.

Jail staff found Joshua Zeh, 32, of Stockbridge, unresponsive with a sheet around his neck and tied to his bed during a cell check, the sheriff’s office said. Zeh received emergency medical treatment but died from his injuries.

Zeh had been in custody since June 9 on a probation violation and contempt of court charges, the sheriff’s office said. He was previously charged with cruelty to children, family violence and obstruction.
