The medical examiner's office says 33-year-old Terry Manuel Jr. of Walters was found hanging from bed linens inside his jail cell about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says a jailer had checked on Manuel less than an hour before he was found.
Manuel had been held until Tuesday at the Comanche County jail in Lawton where officials say he was under suicide watch. Manuel was moved Tuesday night to the jail in Duncan, where he was found dead just hours later.
