Manitoba Justice is reporting the death of an 82-year-old inmate at Headingley Correctional Centre near Winnipeg.
In a press release, the province said the man died on Thursday in hospital and his family has been notified. His name was not released.
Province said this is the first in-custody death at a provincial correctional institution in 2018.
In August, an altercation at Stony Mountain Institution — a federal correctional facility — led to the death of one inmate.
