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:
“After my death I wish no other herald,
No other speaker of my living actions
To keep mine honor from corruption,
But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
“Not one death but many,
not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
the law”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
