Scott, for your information;
Commissioner of Corrective Services Brad Royce said the teenager, who "identifies as Indigenous", had only arrived at the detention centre two days before he died and was out of his cell for most of yesterday afternoon.
Mr Royce said staff checked on the boy over the course of the evening 10 times and on the 11th occasion he was found unresponsive.
Staff breached his cell and performed CPR but he was unable to be revived.
Mr Royce said staff were wearing radios and body-worn cameras and after reviewing the recordings, he said he was satisfied the actions of staff were appropriate.
He said the boy had arrived at Banksia Hill "intoxicated and and potentially had been taking illicit drugs as well".
