TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Convicted murderer Joseph Harris is dead after correctional officers recently found him in his cell with a "sheet around his neck."
The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry reports officers immediately called 911 and tried saving his life.
Once emergency crews arrived, they also tried performing CPR. However, it was to no avail.
The 46-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are currently looking into this incident.
Back in 2015, a Maricopa County jury found Harris guilty of first degree murder.
