Cause Of Death Released For Man Incarcerated At Bucks County Correctional Facility

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — A man incarcerated at the Bucks County Correctional Facility died by suicide last week, the Bucks County Coroner's Office said in a news release Monday.

Edwin Dunfee, 46, died by hanging at the jail on March 1, the coroner's office said. He was from Philadelphia.

Dunfee had been found unresponsive in his cell, according to a report from the county last week. EMS responders were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

This is the second death by suicide at the jail within the past year. In September, 69-year-old Tadeusz Domagala was determined to have ended his own life after being found unresponsive in a shower at the facility.

"The Bucks County Coroner’s Office has notified [Dunfee's] next of kin and offers their family and friends sincerest condolences," the coroner's office said.
