Correctional Service Canada says Alan Peter Knapczyk passed away on Tuesday.

At the time of his death, he was serving a 10-year sentence handed out in 2012 for drug trafficking, obstruction of a peace officer, and the commission of an offence for a criminal organization.

In 2017 the Alberta Court of Appeal tacked on another five years to his prison term because he and another man were acting as enforcers for a cocaine-trafficking operation in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

His cause of death has not been revealed at this time.
