Police say an inmate from the Prince Albert Correctional Centre died last week.
Robert McAdam, 31, was found unresponsive in his cell during the early morning hours of Dec. 27, according to a press release.
The inmate was subsequently taken to Victoria Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said.
While foul play is not suspected at this time, the Prince Albert Police Service said its criminal investigation division and the coroner’s office are investigating the death.
