The cause of his death is still unexplained. An investigation has just been opened after the death of an inmate of the Rennes-Vezin penitentiary center. The 28-year-old man had been incarcerated since December 10. While he was to speak with a staff of the penitentiary, the inmate made a discomfort Thursday morning before being transported to the CHU.

"His death was noted at 11:02 am," we learned from the prosecutor of the Republic of Rennes, confirming information from Actu Rennes. "An autopsy will be carried out to determine the causes of this death and an opening of information, entrusted to an investigating judge, in search of the causes of the death ordered," says Philippe Astruc.

In October, a 33-year-old inmate was found dead in his cell at the Rennes-Vezin penitentiary centre. The hypothesis of a death for medical reasons was then preferred. A month earlier, a 22-year-old man was also found dead by his fellow inmate when he woke up. After this death, an administrative investigation was ordered by the Minister of Justice.
