- RALEIGH - A Davie County man was found dead Monday in a North Carolina prison.
Robert James Spicer, 48, was found dead of an apparent suicide in his prison cell at Nash Correctional Institution in Nashville, the N.C. Department of Public Safety said. The medium-security facility is just outside Rocky Mount.
Officials said Spicer was found unresponsive in his cell about 12:35 a.m. Prison staff, medical staff and paramedics responded and tried to resuscitate Spicer, but he was pronounced dead about 12:55 a.m. at the prison.
Spicer was convicted on Nov. 28, 2005, in Davie County for sexual offense with a child and rape of a child younger than 13, according to the Department of Public Safety website. He was transferred to the prison system two days later and scheduled to be released in November 2067.
