Anesthesiologist’s Suicide in Detention | Bozeman News
Description
A Bozeman anesthesiologist, Jeffrey Scheihing, died by suicide in the Gallatin County Detention Center just days after being arrested on felony child sexual abuse charges. Despite appearing calm and cooperative during booking—where he denied suicidal thoughts—Scheihing was placed alone in a high-security cell for sex crime suspects. He was found unresponsive early November 26th with a sheet around his neck; emergency responders tried to save him but he died two days later. An autopsy confirmed asphyxiation from hanging, and a coroner’s jury unanimously ruled it a suicide, sparking renewed scrutiny over jail mental health protocols and inmate screening.
