An inmate found dead inside his cell is believed to have accidentally overdosed on a cocktail of drugs. Steven Gunn was caged after being caught breaking into an East Kilbride home and died months after he was sentenced.
The 41-year-old was found by staff at HMP Addiewell after he passed away in cell 26 of the jail's Lomond C wing. Prison guards were unlocking cells carrying out morning welfare checks but received no response from Gunn when they tried to rouse him from his bed in October 2018.
A fatal accident inquiry into his death has now heard he had taken unprescribed diazepam, phenazepam, alprazolam and mirtazapine shortly before he passed away, Glasgow Live reports.
