Death at Camp Street prison: Post mortem to be conducted tomorrow

Jul 29, 2008 News

A post mortem examination will be conducted on Nolan Noble, another inmate of the Camp Street penitentiary, who died on Saturday after he was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The post mortem is to determine whether he was a victim of foul play or if he died of natural causes.
A prison official yesterday said that the police have launched an investigation into the matter.

The official also said that he is unaware of the circumstances of Noble’s death and is waiting for autopsy results. He noted that Noble was a mental patient.

Reports state that Noble, a 36-year-old who was incarcerated on a murder charge, died at the hospital after he was found unconscious.

Kaieteur News understands that a relative, who saw the body at a city mortuary, alleged that Noble’s body bore wounds to the back of the head and over one of the eyes.

This newspaper was told that Noble was taking medication for his mentally unstable condition.
The prisoner’s mother told Kaieteur News that her son’s death came as a shock to her, since he was in good health.

However, the woman expressed reluctance to comment further until she has spoken to prison officials. Yesterday, she said that she would reserve all her comments until the post mortem has been conducted.

Noble was remanded a few years ago in connection with the stabbing death of a Linden basketball player.
His death occurred even as police officials continue to investigate the death of prison inmate Edwin Niles, who died at the Georgetown Hospital on July 11.

Niles, who was incarcerated on a narcotics charge, was admitted to the hospital on July 3 with a broken arm and burns on his shoulders, back and buttocks.

The inmate’s relatives have alleged that he was tortured by prison officers who were interrogating him about seven .22 rounds of ammunition that were found in his possession.
