56 YEAR OLD JOHN COLLARD’S DEATH IS BEING CALLED A SUICIDE. THE CARMEL VALLEY MAN ESCAPED FROM A BEN LOMOND WORK CAMP AND WAS CAPTURED LAST WEEK AND SENT TO A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON, WHERE HE WAS FOUND DEAD IN A CELL ON SATURDAY. AN OFFICIAL FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS SAID THERE WAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE IN THE CELL TO RULE THE DEATH A SUICIDE. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER’S EXACT CAUSE OF DEATH HAS YET TO BE RELEASED.
