One person is dead and another is hospitalized following an incident at a Windsor jail.
Few details have been provided, but the Ministry of the Solicitor General has confirmed to Blackburn News that two inmates were involved in an incident at the South West Detention Centre in the early morning hours of Wednesday. Spokesman Greg Flood also said that the second inmate was taken to hospital as a result of the matter, which is under investigation.
"Given the death is subject to multiple investigations, coroner, police and Ministry; it would be inappropriate to provide further comment," Flood said.
The ministry oversees the Department of Correctional Services, which has direct jurisdiction over jails in Ontario.
Windsor police have also begun an investigation into what happened, according to public information officer Sergeant Steve Betteridge.
More details will be provided as they become available.
