Man commits suicide in police station

Officers on duty went to check on him and found him hanging from the cell door with a pair of shoe laces tied around his neck. He had no pulse and didn’t appear to be breathing.

ST JOHN’S, Antigua, – A Jamaican-born man, who’d reportedly tried to commit suicide twice before, took his life in a cell at a police station in Antigua over the weekend as officers stood a stone’s throw away unaware of what was taking place.
Dwayne Davis, a 26-year-old father of one, was found hanging on Saturday morning. He had turned himself in at the Gray’s Farm Police Station that day after an in-law reported to police that he had threatened her.
In a statement outlining the circumstances surrounding his death, police said when the man arrived at the station he saw his wife in the waiting area and became angry, speaking to officers “in a loud and aggressive manner”.
The lawmen and his wife tried to calm him down, according to the police account, but he only got more agitated and disorderly.
