JAKARTA - An Italian man in his 50s, who was detained at an immigration facility in Tokyo, died of suicide on Friday, November 18 morning.
Quoted from Japan Today, Saturday, November 19, an employee at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Service Bureau found the man fainting in his room at around 07.20 a.m. time there.
The man appears to have locked himself. The trick is to damage the television cable installed. The staff tried to make him aware, but he was later confirmed dead in hospital.
A doctor at the hospital indicated an electric shock as the cause of death. The suicide note was not found.
The staff said they had confirmed nothing was wrong at around 6 a.m. on the same day. While the man had received several examinations at the on-site medical facility since his detention, he did not appear to have life-threatening conditions, the agency said.
"We take his death in that facility very seriously. We confirm the facts of the case in detail and review how we will respond to it," he said.
The Italian man is the 18th person to have died at a Japanese immigration facility since 2007. Six of them, including this latest case, were suicides.
