Correction: A previous version of this article referred to Simon Boyle as being a 'grandad'. This was incorrect and we would like to apologise for this error.
A family has paid tribute to a Holme House prisoner originally from Newcastle who was found dead in his cell with a 'wrap of tablets inside his body', as his inquest concludes.
Simon Boyle was found unconscious in his cell on December 2, 2018, and died after taking prescribed and non-prescribed drugs - the combination of which proved fatal. He was serving a five-year sentence at the prison in Stockton for brandishing a sawn-off shotgun during a garage raid.
