A federal prosecutor arrested during a sex sting in Detroit last month died by hanging himself Friday inside his cell at a federal detention facility, authorities said.

J.D. Roy Atchison, 53, of Gulf Breeze was found unresponsive in his cell Friday morning in the special housing unit of the Federal Correctional Institution in Milan, Mich.

Atchison was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead at 10:17 a.m., federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Mike Truman said.

His death appears to be the result of suicide, Truman said. A thorough investigation is under way.
