It’s unclear whether Monias’s death was connected to Thursday’s assault at the prison, in which three inmates were taken to hospital after being attacked.
Correctional Services Canada is reviewing the circumstances of Monias’s death — as the body does in all cases where an inmate dies in custody — and will involve police and a coroner if necessary.
