Daniel McConville, 22, died in Maghaberry Prison in 2018, shortly after he warned staff he intended to self-harm. Now a report into his death by the prison ombudsman has called for improvements to how people with complex needs are managed while in jail.
Using prison records, her report documents the events leading up to the night of 29/30 August 2018, when Maghaberry staff found Mr McConville unresponsive in his cell.
"Based on materials examined as part of this investigation and the significant number of interviews conducted, I was not able to substantiate the allegations made of mistreatment and bullying," the ombudsman concluded. She added that the evidence suggested that Mr McConville had not taken his prescribed anti-depressant medication for at least a week prior to his death and that this "also put him at an elevated risk of suicide".Maghaberry Prison is a high-security men's jail which holds both sentenced and remand prisoners
