A coroner's report revealed that Isaiah Adekunle Olugosi's suicide at HMP Wormwood Scrubs was partly attributable to a broken intercom and telephone system that made communication impossible. His wife traveled 60 miles hoping to alert prison staff after suspecting he was suicidal, but both the intercom and phone lines had been malfunctioning for an extended period. The coroner emphasized the critical need for working communication systems to prevent future tragedies, expressing concern over the prison's negligence in addressing these issues.
In this case, a working system would have enabled the deceased's wife to warn the prison of his impending suicide.
Furniss said there was evidence that the intercom was irreparable, but the proposed solution seemed to be either to leave it as is or remove it altogether.
