Prisoner charged with murder after inmate found dead in cell A man in his 40s was discovered dead in his cell at around 7.40am on Tuesday at HMP Stoke Heath.

Irish prison cells are likely to be fitted with remote “signs of life” monitors in the near future following a sharp increase in inmate deaths last year.

Police said they responded to a report of a man in his 40s being found dead at a Shropshire prison at around 7.40am on Tuesday.
