Another inmate dies in Drumheller Institution

For the second time in three days, an inmate has died at the Drumheller Institution.

Correctional Service Canada says 25-year-old Brandon Lee Mirva died Tuesday inside the medium-security prison.

Mirva had been serving a two-year sentence for drug-related offenses, including possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The cause of the death is under investigation.

It comes only days after the death of a 29-year-old inmate.

Officials say they are conducting a review, as they would with any death of an inmate in their custody.
