A prisoner at HMP Leeds died from blood cancer earlier this year less than two months after he was jailed there.
An independent investigation into the death of Craig McConnell, 38, was published this month by the acting Prisons Ombudsman. It found that while McConnell's condition hadn't been diagnosed when he died, his care was of a good standard, though his significant weight loss while at the prison was not monitored by staff.
McConnell was remanded in custody at HMP Leeds on March 7, charged with burglary and fraud. Before that, he had been taken to hospital following a drug overdose, and had spent time in a mental health hospital in January and February due to a history of mental health issues.
