"according to the government, [the prisoner] had managed to kill himself after two failed attempts."First, he used a pencil to write a suicide note on the wall of his cell. Next, he tore a sheet into strips, then constructed a ligature with them.
"[The prisoner] then remade his bed, climbed the wall of his cell, wove his bedsheet rope into a metal vent above his sink and tried to hang himself. The rope broke and he fell, hitting the sink and ricocheting across the cell headfirst into the corner of a metal desk. The force of the impact caused him to rotate 180 degrees and careen across the cell, smashing his head into a wall.
"While unconscious from two head wounds, [the prisoner] bled profusely onto the floor. After regaining consciousness, he tried to get up but hit his head on the metal stool. He first crawled, then got up and staggered around his cell, leaving blood on the walls and floor.
"After lying on his bed for a while, [the prisoner] used two plastic toothpaste tubes or a plastic knife to cut his throat, leaving more blood. When that suicide try failed, he reconstructed his bed sheet rope and successfully hanged himself."
OK so it is not Mr. Kakugawa. This is pure Looney-Tunes federal authorities (including Eric Holder IIRC) describing how Kenneth Trentadue (a federal prisoner) killed himself in his cell. They had the prisoner ricocheting around his cell like in a Looney-Tunes cartoon.

Investigators independent of the feds said that it could not have happened that way. The feds say, "Oh yeah?"

Actually, that reads like a Chicago PD holding-cell “misfortune” regarding a gang-banger.
I’m just LOL, right now!
