Authorities say a man died at a jail in Atlanta that is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Fulton County Sheriff's office said in a news release Wednesday that 40-year-old Montay Stinson was found unresponsive in his cell at the main county Jail around 11:45 p.m. Monday. Jail and medical personnel were unable to revive him. The release says Stinson had no obvious signs of injury, and an autopsy will be done to determine cause and manner of death. The Justice Department last month announced an investigation into jail conditions in Fulton County, citing violence, filthy conditions and the death of a man whose body was found covered in insects last year.

Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges.

ARLINGTON, Texas — This is what the AL West race will come down to: Who makes the most of Steve Cohen’s largesse.

Greece’s finance minister has promised to step up inspections of beach bars and other businesses renting out seaside sunbeds and umbrellas. Wednesday's move, at the peak of the key summer tourist season, follows complaints that it's difficult, or impossible, for non-paying beachgoers to find a spot on the sand on many islands. Private beaches are illegal in Greece. But local authorities lease limited beach sections to entrepreneurs who provide the infrastructure and charge beachgoers for its use. Protest groups on some popular Aegean Sea resort islands, including Paros, Naxos and Serifos, charge that some entrepreneurs often far exceed the scope of their lease, taking up entire beaches and sometimes banning non-paying visitors from using them.

Somalia’s sports minister has publicly apologized after a seemingly untrained female sprinter represented the African country at the World University Games in China and took more than 20 seconds to finish a 100-meter race.
