        He had epilepsy that was inadequately treated. Temporal lobe epilepsy can be associated with outbursts of violence, which is not an issue of character or morals. Despite pleas for better treatment he did not get it.

        ...so, are you saying it's fine that he committed suicide? Because he had a 'violence rap sheet'? That makes it okay to deny someone medical treatment for years? Men on Manus have been off their mental health meds since November. More than 80% had been taking them prior.

        I note you haven't published @Samad_durrani88's video of the man seizing. I was on the phone to a group who hid in the bathroom with him after that, helping them try to stabilize him before the guards got to them. He seized that day because he was ASSAULTED BY GUARDS.

        Absolutely disgraceful journalism. Imagine writing this shameful gutterfilth. In years to come, when we are asking how our government could get away with institutional murder in offshore detention, we will point to propaganda like this and the lickspittles who author it.

        Lowest of the low gutter"journalism". Murdoch only keeps this loss making piece of shit going to justify his party's sick, cruel, inhuman acts, and to demonise its victims, and anyone who dares to speak against it.

        If I ever see an actual fact in that right wing propaganda rag I'll probably die of shock. But thanks for the laugh. Someone who retweets Trump talking about facts. I love it.

        And by the way, even children have a "violence rap sheet" on Manus, when they're suicidal and self harm. Were torturing innocent people who've committed no crime. If you don't have a problem with that I feel sorry for you. A man just died there and this paper is smearing him.

        What is a 'violence rap sheet'? Are you referring to formal charges against the man? Convictions? Or just allegations? #Manus
