HOUSTON (Reuters) - A man on Texas death row became his own executioner when he committed suicide by hanging, prison officials said on Wednesday. Deon Tumblin, 27, was found hanging by a sheet in his cell at the Polunsky Unit prison in Livingston, Texas, on Tuesday, they said. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the prison infirmary. Tumblin had been on death row since 2001 for the strangulation and beating death of a 75-year-old Texarkana woman, Evelyn Reid.
