"A detainee has been found dead at Colnebrook immigration detention centre, Politics.co.uk can confirm. While neither the centre nor the Home Office were able to provide information, Politics.co.uk has seen an email sent out to immigration centre staff saying that the death occurred today.

The detainee was found "unresponsive in his room". Politics.co.uk has the name of the detainee but is not reporting it yet until it knows the family has been notified. Troublingly, the death took place while the detainee was under "constant watch". This means the detainee should be under permanent supervision because they are considered at such a high risk of attempting suicide."
