The Home Office does not routinely inform family members when asylum seekers die in their care and does not want to supply details of these deaths publicly in case it upsets them and endangers their mental health.
NGOs have recently warned that asylum seekers are at particularly high risk of suicide in part due to Home Office policies such as the introduction of mass accommodation sites such as Wethersfield in Essex and the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland, Dorset.
