Brooksville, FL (November 1, 2024) – The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of an inmate who committed suicide at the Hernando County Detention Center.

On October 30, 2024, at approximately 10:30 PM, detention deputies responded to a report of a suicide attempt involving inmate Cory Joseph Tine (DOB 02-13-1977).

He was transferred to Tampa General Hospital in Brooksville where he was placed on life support. The sheriff’s office contacted Mr. Tine’s family next of kin, and family members were allowed to visit him in the hospital. Mr. Tine was pronounced deceased on November 1, 2024, at 7:25 AM. His family agreed to organ donation, with the Medical Examiner giving LifeLink authorization to proceed with the donation.

In the investigation, “it was determined that inmates in Mr. Tine’s housing unit had begun lining up for the shower, reserving their place by putting clothing and personal items outside the area. Mr. Tine was first in line to use the shower. When the next inmate in line noticed a significant delay, he checked on Mr. Tine and found him hanging behind the shower curtain.

The inmate, along with others, immediately notified detention deputies, who responded swiftly, freeing Mr. Tine and initiating life-saving measures.

A thorough review of surveillance footage confirmed that Mr. Tine was alone in the shower area from the time he entered until the other inmate checked on him.

Tine, who had been housed in general population since 10-14-24, never indicated to other inmates, family, or legal counsel, that he was considering self-harm.”

The incident remains under investigation. No further details are available at this time.
