ABBOTSFORD — Correctional Service Canada says an 80-year-old inmate has died of natural causes at an Abbotsford prison.

CSC says it cannot release the inmate’s name in order to comply with a court-ordered publication ban to protect the identity of the victim(s).
The inmate’s next of kin have been notified.
