Man’s commits suicide at Hermitage hotel

HERMITAGE, Pa. — The death of a Beaver County man found in a Hermitage hotel room has been ruled a suicide.

Hermitage Police said they were called at 1 p.m. Tuesday by the Pennsylvania State Police in Beaver County requesting a welfare check on Jeffrey Diamond, 31, of Hookstown, Pa., who was staying at the Hermitage Inn.

State police advised that Diamond had violated a protection from abuse order and he threatened to commit suicide and “take out” anyone who tried to stop him.

A special police team was called to assist with the check on Diamond due to the threats made. Police forced their way into the room and found Diamond dead on the bed. Deputy Coroner Jerry Smith ruled Diamond committed suicide.
