The Department of Justice has confirmed the sudden death of an inmate at HMP.

According to officials, a 33-year-old man died today at the penitentiary.

The RNC has confirmed an investigation into the sudden death—however, no further details are available at this time.

It’s the latest tragic incident in local corrections facilities. Over the course of a year-long period, four people died while incarcerated in Newfoundland and Labrador, prompting an independent review.

In August, the family of Skye Martin launched a lawsuit against the provincial government in connection with Martin’s death at the Correctional Centre for Women in Clarenville. Then, in September, a statement of claim was filed in connection with the death of Douglas Neary at HMP on August 31, 2017.
