This is such a confusing story—how does someone "hog tie" themselves before committing suicide by hanging?

The confusing part is that there's so many details provided but the report just kind of... awkwardly buries those facts underneath a pile of other facts.

Like the story wants to make you believe that this was a case of the jail being so horrific that this person with possible mental health issues killed themself.

You know, rather than focusing on what the conditions of the body's discovery actually imply: he was lynched in jail.

An autopsy report seen by Newsweekshowed Ge was found tied with a bedsheet, with linens around his wrists and ankles in what the report described as a "hog-tied" position.

Ah yes the ‘ol’ he shot himself in the back of the head type of suicide.

The medical examiner noted that there had been other reported incidents of people who had hung themselves having done something similar, and that there were no obvious defense wounds.

And apparently it’s an epidemic in that prison. Multiple people tying their own hands and feet behind their backs and then hanging themselves. And of course since they couldn’t / didn’t fight back it could only be self inflicted, that’s the only solution to this conundrum here.

It’s truly mystifying how any detention facility can let someone leave their room, create three nooses and then hang themselves without anyone knowing.

Sorta like Epstein managed to do to himself ofc. Really is truly mystifying.

What's worse is the lack of mental health care which could have prevented this tragedy. Mr. Ge's death represents a totally failure on the part of the GeoGroup and the DHS."

And damn had he just had a decent therapist, I’m sure he coulda pulled through somehow. Never mind the abduction, jail, treatment, and nazis.
