A man accused of capital murder in Tyler has died after he was found hanging in his Longview jail cell. Tony Waters, 55, of Kilgore, had been arrested in Longview for a Tyler shooting that left two persons dead and one injured. Shortly after 12:15 last Wednesday afternoon the jail staff, making a regular welfare check of the inmates, found Waters hanging in his cell. He had used his clothes to fashion a makeshift rope. The jail staff started CPR. Waters died Saturday at a Longview hospital. His body was sent for autopsy. The Texas Rangers are investigating the incident. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GILMER \u00e2\u20ac\u201c An Upshur County Jail inmate has died from a self-inflicted injury.
