The girlfriend of a man fatally shot by police in January after allegedly fleeing a robbery killed herself in the Garfield County Jail on April 7, a news release from the sheriff\u2019s office states.<\/p>\n

Laura Ebbs, 37, was \u201cdiscovered in her cell during a routine security check,\u201d and had apparently \u201cused parts of her clothing to hang herself,\u201d the Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cJail Deputies on scene immediately entered the cell and along with on-site medical staff began attempts to revive Ms. Ebbs using both CPR and an AED. Ms. Ebbs was subsequently transported to Valley View Hospital where she received additional care,\u201d the press release said.<\/p>\n

Ebbs died April 10 after life-support at the hospital was suspended.<\/p>\n
