Guam - The Department of Corrections is conducting an internal affairs investigation after finding a detainee dead in his cell Tuesday morning. While an autopsy is pending, DOC spokesperson Lt Antone Aguon says it doesn't appear foul play was involved.

He said, "Preliminarily, we don't have any reason to believe there was any sort of issues and right now we are not sure it's still to early to determine what led to this or caused this person to do this."

The detainee was found hanging in his cell. KUAM News has learned the detainee was Bernard Jennings.  He was confined in September 2010 on charges of attempted murder.
