Discussion Modena, inmate dies from gas inhalation in prison: suicide hypothesis

[L'absent]

Hanging remains the most used method in prisons, but for some time this method with gas canisters (this is LPG) has been increasingly popular. Is it possible to die by sucking directly from the little straw? The quantity of gas is really small, I know those cans.

The use of gas from canisters with which food is cooked in cells is a practice used both to carry out extreme gestures and to stun oneself



Investigations are underway to clarify whether it was a suicide: the use of gas from the canisters with which food is cooked in the cell, in fact, is a practice used both to carry out extreme gestures and to stun oneself. In recent times there have been several deaths inside Italian penitentiaries due to gas inhalation: in Modena, in February 2023, a 40-year-old man lost his life following fumes coming from a camping stove . Last July a 45-year-old died in the Montorio Veronese prison and in June a 21-year-old died in the Frosinone prison, a 30-year-old in the Genoa Marassi prison and a 29-year-old detained in San Vittore in Milan.
