Luigi Mangione’s not on suicide watch after being examined by mental health professionals …
A representative for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections says … the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson isn’t currently under any psychiatric order at SCI Huntingdon, a correctional facility just outside Altoona.
We’re told he was evaluated by medical and psychology professionals as part of the regular screening … and, no psych order was put in place.
As we told you … Mangione is locked up in a single cell and won’t have any interaction with other inmates, for now.
We’re told he’s not in solitary confinement, and he will eventually be let out of his cell … a privilege all inmates have — even those with a higher custody level.
Mangione’s been charged in PA with forgery, tampering, presenting false ID to law enforcement, and carrying a firearm without a license.
In New York City, he’s facing a second-degree murder charge … Mangione is currently fighting extradition to New York.
