MCC death - official narrative vs questions

The August 2019 death at Metropolitan Correctional Center remains controversial. **Official findings:** - Medical examiner: Suicide by hanging - DOJ investigation: Multiple failures by staff - Two guards charged, later acquitted **Documented failures:** - Removed from suicide watch early - Guards falsified check logs - Cameras malfunctioned - Cellmate transferred night before **What documents show:** - MCC inspection reports from 2018 show chronic understaffing - Previous incidents at facility - Guards working overtime shifts I'm not saying what happened. I'm saying the documented failures are extraordinary. DOJ-IG report: DOJ-OIG-2021-003

The camera "malfunction" is the part that strains credulity the most for me.
Multiple cameras. Multiple malfunctions. On the same night. In a federal facility.
The DOJ-IG report details all the failures. It's worth reading just to see how many things went wrong.
I want to be clear: I'm not saying what happened. I'm saying the official explanation requires extraordinary incompetence at every level.
