An Aboriginal teenager has died in a Perth hospital a week after being found unresponsive inside a maximum security prison that is holding more than a dozen young detainees.

Last Thursday Cleveland Dodd, 16, was found unresponsive in his cell at a youth detention unit within the Casuarina prison by staff in the early hours of the morning.
