A man charged with child molestation likely killed himself in his cell at the Marion County Jail, authorities said.

Cortland Wade McGrown, 32, was found unresponsive in his cell Wednesday evening.

He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police were investigating the death but called it an apparent suicide.

McGrown was charged with four counts of child molestation and was being held on $50,000 bond.

McGrown had also been incarcerated five other times -- once in 2010 and four times in 2011, authorities said.
