(Bismarck, ND) -- A prison guard is out of a job in connection with Chad Isaak's suicide.

Correctional Officer Sergeant Deandre Adams was fired yesterday for violating policy at the North Dakota State Penitentiary. Officials say Adams failed to adequately check on Isaak the day the convicted quadruple murderer hanged himself in his cell.

The firing comes after an internal investigation by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
