LINCOLN - The man accused of killing two people in Douglas, Nebraska is now dead.
According to a news release, 36-year-old Brindar Jangir died Sunday at the Lincoln Correctional Center. Officials say at around 2:30 A.M. staff members observed Jangir unresponsive in his cell from an apparent suicide attempt.
The release says staff immediately began CPR and called for emergency responders. Jangir was pronounced dead at 3:05 A.M.
Jangir is accused of killing Randal and Annette Grimes, the parents of his former live-in girlfriend. He was charged with first degree murder.
