45-year-old inmate serving a 14-year jail sentence dies in custody at Fraser Valley prison

MISSION – Federal correctional staff say a 45-year-old inmate died in custody this past week at a prison in Mission, but a court-ordered publication ban prohibits them from releasing the name of the inmate.

According to a statement from Correctional Service Canada, a 45-year-old died in custody last Thursday, Oct. 22 at Mission Institution.

Correctional staff say the individual’s name has been anonymized to comply with a court-ordered publication ban to protect the identity of the victim.

At the time of death, the inmate was 45 years old and had been serving a sentence of 14 years, 11 months, and 21 days since October 1, 2018.
