Because if they can find out if he showed any signs of being suicidal they'll know what to look for in anyone else who suicidal but not on suicide watch.
Suicide watch means checking them every 15mins, which can give them enough of a chance to revive someone who's managed to hang themselves.
Also, if he was showing known signs and they were missed, then the prison forces messed up in not keeping him on suicide watch.
