The Times of Israel:

Lawyer who met Mossad spy two days earlier says he ‘absolutely’ wasn’t suicidal, but that he’d spent many harrowing months in solitary confinement.

Australian-born Mossad spy Ben Zygier managed to kill himself despite being held in a high-security jail cell by doing so in the bathroom, Israeli TV reported Thursday.

There were no cameras in the bathroom, which explained the lack of video evidence for the suicide, despite the fact that Zygier was reportedly on suicide watch and held in a high-tech cell with 24-hour surveillance, according to a report on Channel 2.

The report, which cited unnamed members of the rescue crew called to the prison, detailed that nothing that could be used to commit suicide was found near his body. The sources added that Zygier was close to death for several minutes outside his cell before they determined he had died.
