CORUNNA, Mich. (WWJ) - A Mid-Michigan man accused of murdering and eating parts of a man he met on a dating app is recovering after he was found unresponsive inside his Shiawassee County Jail cell.
Mark Latunski, 50, was found unresponsive by guards Tuesday evening during a routine cell check.
"It was later learned that since his incarceration, he hasn't been eating," Michigan State Police Lt. David Kaiser told WWJ's Beth Fisher. "He was transported by ambulance with a trooper to a local hospital for treatment. Once there, the sheriff's department had deputies come in and they guarded him."
After being examined by doctors and given a clean bill of health, Latunski was returned back to the jail.
Latunski is being held without bond and is awaiting a mental health evaluation before trial. He's charged in the murder and mutilation of 25-year-old Kevin Bacon of Swartz Creek, who went missing around Christmas.
Bacon's naked body was found Dec. 28 hanging by his ankles from the ceiling of Latunski's Bennington Township home. Investigators allege in previous court records that Latunski admitted to stabbing Bacon in the back, slitting his throat, and removing his testicles and later eating them.
Bacon's roommate, Michelle Myers, told police Bacon met Latunski on Dec. 24 after connecting with him on a dating app. His family reported him missing the next day.
Divorce, custody and criminal records show a history of complaints about Latunski's mental health. He was known to stop taking medication prescribed to treat his mental illnesses.
Court records state that Latunski is "so fixated on a conspiracy theory including multiple nations/countries and involved in multiple trust accounts." Those records also state that Latunski "believes he is a noble person from the Thomas Clan of Wales" whose real name is Edgar Thomas Hill — a name he provided during the arraignment.
