WAYMART
Inmate death
ruled a suicide
The death of an inmate at the State Correctional Institution at Waymart in Wayne County has been ruled a suicide, Lackawanna County Coroner Timothy Rowland said Monday.
Corrections officers discovered the body of inmate Roy G. Mosley Jr., 45, of Conneaut Lake, unconscious in the inmate bathroom at 3:15 a.m. Nov. 17, prison Superintendent George Miller said Monday. Officers provided first aid until facility medical personnel arrived and performed CPR. EMS then transported him to Geisinger Community Medical Center. A GCMC doctor pronounced him dead on Nov. 18, Miller said.
Mosley was serving a 20- to 40-year sentence for third-degree murder and has been at the prison since January 2004. He was charged with criminal homicide in 2000, stemming from a case in Crawford County, court records show.
