Based on the medical records the convict was examined by a doctor on March 4, 2014. The patient did not have any complaints and had never seen a psychiatrist before. Nor did s/he take psychotropic medication. There was no known attempt by the deceased to inflict self-injuries. The patient did not consume much alcohol, never abused drugs and therefore he was diagnosed as practically healthy. It should be noted that even though no health related problem which could trigger suicide was indicated in a medical record, a forensic report indicates that extravasations on the lower and upper limbs as well as in the area of the underarm were observed on the body which may have been sustained as a result of violence. Therefore, an independent and impartial investigation must be carried out to rule out violence against the deceased or any possibility of bringing him/her to the point of suicide. The Ministry of Corrections provided information on inmates enrolled in suicide prevention programme. Based on the information 99 inmates participated in the programme throughout 2014. The table below shows the breakdown of the institutions and months.

For instance, the special prevention group members while monitoring Penitentiary Facility 2 in October 2014 established that only two inmates were enrolled in the suicide prevention programme since January 2014 while 50 cases of suicide were reported to have taken place in the facility.
