Found him hanging

A professional jujitsu fighter charged with trying to open a cabin door of a Dulles-bound airliner at 30,000 feet tried to commit suicide in his Leesburg jail cell, authorities said yesterday.

Carlos Alberto de Oliveira, 43, was taken to Central State Hospital in Petersburg after officials at the Loudoun County jail found him hanging in his cell Tuesday night, said Loudoun Public Defender Lorie E. O'Donnell.

The Brazilian national apparently became distraught after the court declined for a second time this week to hear his motion to enter into a plea agreement with prosecutors, O'Donnell said.
