Man jailed for burglary who was in receipt of benefit for lactose intolerance dies in prison

Reports said the court heard the gang, which broke a lock, kicked in the farmhouse door and ransacked the property looking for cash, fled after discovering that the sole occupant, James O’Connor was asleep in his bed.The dead prisoner, named locally as Edward Woodland, was “found unresponsive in his cell” at Limerick Prison “at around 6am” Thursday, reliable sources said.

“He was found unresponsive in his cell during a routine cell check, no foul play is suspected,” a source said. Gardaí and the Irish Prison Service are conducting separate investigations, in line with normal procedures after a person dies in prison custody. When asked for comment, a IPS spokeswoman replied: “The Irish Prison Service can confirm that there was a death in custody of a person in the custody of the Irish Prison Service on 12th January 2023 and the next of kin have been notified.”

“This death in custody will be investigated by the Irish Prison Service, The Inspector of Prisons and An Garda Síochána, where circumstances warrant.”
