Alejandro Correa Ferreyra, 37, of Stockton, was pronounced dead at San Joaquin General Hospital, a day after Stockton police arrested him on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
Around 1:45 a.m., an officer found Ferreyra hanging in his one-person cell. He was pronounced dead at 2:29 a.m., said Deputy Kim de la Cruz, spokeswoman for San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney and the sheriff’s office are investigating the death as a suicide, she said.

Love Always Me & Your baby Alex Jr
How i wish you where here with us. You would of been happy with a new family. Who would appreciate you & everything you do! Rest in peace Valentines Day.
Remember, what goes around comes around.
Second Domestic Violence is a horrible crime. DV is not a crime specifically targeted at women, although they are almost always the reported victim. Men and women both have the ability of striking one another. Men usually don't report such crimes because either they are not seriously injured or because they don't care due to societal views.
Third what the heck happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" I know it's hard to fathom but PEOPLE LIE! Although I do believe nearly all inmates are guilty but there is always a possibility that they are not. NO one knows the facts of the case...DON'T JUDGE!
What the heck is "Mexican CPR?" I hope you are not as ignorant as you sound. Legally not everyone has the authority to pronounce someone dead. Staff probably had to wait for staff with authority or transportation to get to said staff to pronounce this man dead.
Did you NOT notice he was arrested for FELONY domestic violence!!!!!!!
Yes, I do think he deserves to die because he was a coward that beat up woman and didn't want to face the consequences of his own actions. He committed suicide because he wanted control and this way he was still able to have it. In jail he would've been beat down for the loser that he is! Whatever, just glad I don't have to pay to feed or house him anymore:)
I'm sure this isn't the first time this loser has hit a woman either. Good riddance you pathetic coward! I hope he rots in hell with the rest of them.

You have your head where the sun dont shine
Thats what you get when you administer
"Mexican CPR"
My instinct is telling me you have the right idea. Most people think domestic violence isn't bad. It is violence against women and it is not taken seriously by many people. If the genders were reversed I bet men would have a different opinion.

WOW just because he was arrested for it doesn't mean he did it. I have seen women and men say someone hit them and it turns out that it never happened. I knew one woman who actually punched her own face and bloodied her lip and called the cops and said her husband beat her because she had an affair and he was leaving her.
I would be the first one to jump on the band wagon against domestic violence having survived it.
