“The male’s death is considered suspicious. As a result, the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Homicide Investigation Unit has taken carriage of the investigation,” they said in a news release.

No staff were injured.  

The maximum security unit was locked down and operations modified for the safety of workers and inmates and to allow the RCMP and Corrections time to investigate.  

The institution continues to work on a modified routine.  

As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, CSC will review the circumstances. CSC policy requires that the police and the coroner be notified.
