A MAN serving a life sentence for attempted murder was found hanging in his cell at Full Sutton maximum security jail, the Prison Service confirmed today.
An investigation is under way after Noel John Dooley, 41, was found dead in a segregation unit on Sunday evening.
Attempts were made to resuscitate him, but Dooley could not be revived.
He was convicted at Leeds Crown Court of stabbing former prostitute Nichola Jane Hirst in Bradford in October, 2000.
The former security guard had denied attempted murder.
A Prison Service spokesman said the coroner had been informed.
