Death
One Thursday Morning, Maust was informed by the Correctional Officers at the Lake County Jail in Crown Point, Indiana that he was being transferred to the Indiana Department of Corrections to carry out his sentence. He was in the "OLD" part of the jail, segregated from other inmates, and in his own cell. Upon returning to his cell, the officers noticed David Maust was hanging from a sheet, tied to the cell bars. Several officers tried reviving him at his cell. He was then transported to the hospital.
Maust died at St. Anthony Medical Center in Crown Point, Indiana, 27 hours after the suicide.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
“Some say that gleams of a remoter world
Visit the soul in sleep,—that death is slumber,
And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber
Of those who wake and live.—”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
It is enough I may but call her mine.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
