Date set for inquest into death of Five Wells prisoner who died on Christmas Day
An inquest into the death of Suffolk man Reece Pryce has been set for March 16 at the Guildhall in Northampton.
A four-day inquest will begin in March, with a jury in attendance, confirmed at the pre-inquest hearing yesterday (January 29).
Reece Pryce, believed to be from Suffolk, died at the Wellingborough prison on Christmas Day 2024 in an incident that was deemed ‘unnatural.’
His death was just 15 days after 49-year-old Kevin Golby died suddenly at the prison.
The medical, provisional cause of death was noted as Spice-related, a drug containing synthetic cannabinoids.
Representatives of G4S, the company which manages Five Wells prison in Doddington Road, attended the pre-inquest hearing in Northampton. Family members were also in attendance.
