Moroccan prisoner found dead by suicide in Italian cell

A Moroccan inmate has been found dead in his cell in Italy, after tragically taking his own life. The 38-year-old inmate was serving his sentence at the Poggioreale prison in Naples.

The prisoner, without a fixed address, committed suicide at dawn, Cronache della Campania reported on Tuesday.

The body of the Moroccan was transferred to the Forensic Medicine department of the Federiciano Polyclinic, at the disposal of the judicial authorities.

This tragedy marks the third death within the Neapolitan prison in the beginning of this year, and the second within just a day.
