Jason Watson called police from his cell 😟

A prisoner described having a gun put to his head in a terrifying "flashback" the day before he took his own life.

The findings of a Fatal Accident Inquiry into Watson's death as Barlinnie Prison were published last week and reveal that he made three calls to the 999 service on the evening of February 25, 2021, two days before his body was discovered in his cell.

"There was no exploration with Mr Watson as to why he was calling the emergency services or anything beyond a superficial assessment of his welfare and how he presented. None of the officers, for example, asked him how he was, or if there was anything troubling him which had caused him to contact the emergency services."

Sheriff Jackson determined that Watson chose to take his own life overnight between February 26 and 27, having told a mental health medic just hours earlier that "he had no intention to self-harm or suicide."
