The man reportedly used a four-meter long blue plastic strap.
Then incident has been confirmed to local media by North Kuta Police Chief Heri Supriawan.
“The body of the victim (prison inmate from Kerobokan Block D), who allegedly hanged himself, has been taken to Sanglah Hospital for a post-mortem examination,” Supriawan told Tribun Bali.
