The autopsy was carried out on Wednesday, a separate person with direct knowledge of the matter said. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">While full details of Nguyen's medical condition and treatment at the center remain unclear, fellow detainees said the Vietnamese had repeatedly told guards he was suffering from pain in his head and neck after his arrival. </span><iframe class="teads-resize" style="margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; border: currentColor !important; border-image: none !important !important; width: 100% !important; height: 0px !important; display: block !important; min-height: 0px !important;"></iframe></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Nguyen was prescribed painkillers by a doctor at the center, the detainees said in a letter, only for guards to ignore his later complaints of pain as he was held in a solitary cell and tell him to be quiet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tooru Tsunoda, a doctor and vice-chairman of a watchdog overseeing conditions at the center, told Reuters that although strokes are hard to detect, guards may have missed symptoms of Nguyen's illness. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"They may have been unable to detect the stroke by only monitoring Nguyen in the solitary cell," Tsunoda told Reuters. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Nguyen, born in 1969, arrived in Japan in 1998 to seek asylum, a Vietnamese nun told Reuters.
