A 38-year-old Moroccan man was found lifeless inside his cell in Italy at the crack of dawn after hanging himself, reported several Italian media outlets on Tuesday.

The Moroccan was, according to the same source, homeless and was serving his term in the Florence Pavilion of the Poggioreale prison in Naples since 20 December 2023.

The body of the deceased was taken to the Forensic Medicine department at Nuovo Policlinico Federico II in Naples for the autopsy examination.

This incident is raising concerns about the increasing number of similar cases within the Italian Poggioreale prison. The suicide of the Moroccan man marks the third such case since the beginning of 2024.
