Homicide investigators are looking into the death of an inmate at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on Saturday.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Mounties were called to the Maple Ridge institution about 4:30 p.m. Saturday after staff reported an altercation that resulted in one man’s death.
The victim, 27-year-old Adam Palsson, was taken to Ridge Meadows Hospital where he was pronounced dead about 6 p.m.
“IHIT investigators are working in partnership with Corrections personnel at FRCC to determine the circumstances leading up to this man’s death,” Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said.
“Investigators believe there may be witnesses with information about what led up to this in custody death and ask anyone who has not already spoken to police to come forward.”
Anyone with information can call IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
