A man who died in custody of the Riley County Jail last week died by suicide, Kansas Bureau of Investigations officials have told members of the man’s family.
Riley County emergency responders pronounced Michael Lee Stanfield, 60, of Manhattan dead at 9:51 p.m. Thursday after corrections officers found him unresponsive less than 30 minutes earlier. EMS arrived seven minutes after Stanfield was found and administered life-saving measures to no avail.
In an interview with News Radio KMAN, Shania and Andrea Stanfield said a KBI agent told them he’d reviewed evidence from Michael Stanfield’s death which showed him dying by hanging himself while in a single-man cell.
