snoop1130 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 A 42 year old suspect was found dead in his cell at a police station in Manchakhiri, in the southern part of Khon Kaen province, northeastern Thailand. The deceased had been detained following a disturbance caused by intoxication, and his relatives had requested police intervention. The incident has highlighted concerns about handling individuals with a history of mental health issues and substance abuse in custody. On February 5 it was reported that the local district officer had assigned the deputy district officer for security to work with the prosecutor’s office, the hospital’s medical team, and investigative officers to conduct an autopsy. The deceased, whose last name has been withheld, had a history of mental illness and drug addiction, which had led to erratic behaviour requiring police attention. Two days prior, on February 3, around 1.20pm, police were alerted to the suspect’s aggressive behaviour at his family home, where he was reportedly causing harm to relatives and damaging property. The family had requested that the police take him to see a doctor to assess his condition and provide necessary treatment.

aldrichra Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It's a tough situation all around. I can see how some might find relief, but it's also important to consider the complexities involved, especially regarding the individual's neurotic personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldrichra Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It's a tough situation all around. I can see how some might find relief, but it's also important to consider the complexities involved, especially regarding the individual's neurotic personality. It's never easy when mental health intersects with such tragic outcomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
