While at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ontario Canada on October 16 2007, Smith requested to be transferred to a psychiatric facility; she was placed on a formal suicide watch on October 18. In the early hours of October 19, Smith was videotaped placing a ligature around her neck, an act of self-harm she had committed several times before. Guards did not enter her cell to intervene, and 45 minutes passed before she was examined and pronounced dead.
On 25 October 2007, three guards and a supervisor at the Grand Valley Institution for Women were charged with criminal negligence causing death in relation to Smith's suicide; the warden and deputy warden were fired, but warden Cindy Berry after almost a year was quietly rehired. The criminal charges against her subordinates were later dropped. No charges were ever brought against the warden or deputy warden. On 8 October 2009, Smith's family launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the Correctional Service of Canada, demanding $11 million (Canadian dollars) in damages; the suit was eventually settled out of court in May 2011 for an undisclosed amount.

Damn. Looks like the staff at that center were just tired of her shit and let her kill herself. She clearly did this right in front of them, they watched her do it and did nothing.
Apparently “suicide watch” means literally watch someone commit suicide.

This is almost unbelievable, literally. How can one guard let alone seven be this unfathomably inept and stupid? I would say that they were trying to let her kill herself but they're literally filming the evidence. If I read about this I wouldn't believe it.
Honestly, I think it's an amazing coincidence that the seven dumbest people on the planet all happened to be guards at this prison and working together that morning.

Someone who has been under mental health watch at a hospital in Ontario this year. Assuming nothing about this has changed in the last 15 years the people who are supposedly on overwatch are not police, just hired security. Not that this makes it any better but I wanted to address the acab comments here.

I know several people that have been allowed to die/end up severely brain damaged in situations far too similar to this on mental health units in the UK. Fucked up.
