“This 54-year-old patient was admitted on April 12 at around 9 o’clock. We last saw him alive at around 3:00 am this morning. We noticed that he had passed away or he was hanging; his body was hanging at around 5:30, minutes to 6:00 this morning,” Forde said in a statement issued to the media.
“We are working with our clinical team, as well as the police and the family members to find out exactly what happened, therefore the investigation is ongoing.”
