Reliable sources, speaking to WOBM News on condition of anonymity, related that an inmate took his own life. Neither would speculate on identity, age or circumstances, but one suggested that the inmate was young.

It is also believed to have been by hanging.

A spokesperson for Warden Sandra Mueller, reached by phone between 9 AM and 10 AM Monday, indicated that a statement would be forthcoming.

A subsequent inquiry to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office directed back to Corrections. Thus far, no official response has emerged.
