Ryan Harmon, 43, was held pretrial at the Larimer County Jail in Colorado. His family, including his four children, described him as beloved, and his children say he stayed in constant contact with them and gave them good financial support while they were growing up. Jail staff were reported to have found him hanging in his cell on May 25, 2023, and he was taken to a local hospital, where he died a few days later.
