Lawyer Mark Mayfield, Charged in Nursing Home Break-In, Commits Suicide

One of the supporters of Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) who was allegedly involved in directing a political blogger to break into the nursing home of Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-MS) wife, has committed suicide.

Mayfield's lawyers confirmed to TPM on Friday that Mayfield had died. One of Mayfield's lawyers, John Reeves, said it was in an apparent suicide.

Mayfield (pictured), an attorney and member of the Central Mississippi Tea Party, was one of the men arrested in connection with the criminal case against political blogger "Constitutional Clayton" Kelly, who allegedly went to the nursing home of Rose Cochran's nursing home to take her photograph to use in an anti-Cochran video. Mayfield and Kelly were supporters of McDaniel.
