YPSILANTI — An official says two Michigan prison workers have been fired, four months after the death of a 25-year-old inmate.

Janika Edmond was an inmate at the Huron Valley prison for women near Ypsilanti. Documents show she reported being "tired of being here" and hearing voices. She was found with underwear tied around her neck.

Corrections Department spokesman Chris Gautz says a corrections officer and a resident unit manager were fired Thursday. He didn't disclose the reasons to The Ann Arbor News.

A prison report shows the presumed cause of Edmond's death is suicide, but autopsy results haven't been released. Her family's lawyer, David Steingold, believes the employees could have prevented the death.

Edmond was in prison for violating probation in a previous criminal case.
