Perak deputy police chief Hasnan Hassan said the 39-year-old detainee was found at about 12.10pm while a police officer was carrying out routine patrol at the lockup.
"The detainee was found hanging using the T-shirt supplied to him and an inquiry had been carried out by the coroner from the Sungai Siput Magistrate's Court.
"Based on the autopsy report, the detainee's death was caused by a neck compression due to hanging while no other injury was found," he said in a statement last night.
According to Hasnan, during the incident the detainee, who was arrested on May 2 for a drug offence, was alone in the lockup.
He added that the deceased was remanded from Tuesday until May 16 and had four previous criminal records involving drugs.
