Forest Bank prisoner found dead in his cell had 'consumed various drugs'

An inmate who died in prison had 'consumed various drugs', an inquest heard. The body of Darren Rawlinson was found in his cell at Forest Bank prison in Salford on January 29, 2017.

The 38-year-old, originally from Stockport, had just two weeks of a three year sentence left to serve.

Area coroner Peter Sigee told the jury at the inquest at Bolton coroners court they were likely to hear evidence Mr Rawlinson had 'consumed various drugs while in detention, which more than minimally contributed to his death'. The inquest heard Mr Rawlinson’s body was found in cell 24 in the G1 wing at Forest Bank at 12.05pm on Sunday, January 29, 2017.
