Another inmate has died at a crisis-hit prison, with the death toll rising to 10 in just over three months. Warren Manners, 38, died at Parc prison in Bridgend, Wales, on Wednesday.

As reported by Wales Online, bosses have confirmed that a probe will now be launched into the death. Earlier this month the prison's minister Edward Argar said four out of nine recent sudden deaths at Parc are believed to be drug-related, four are not, and one is "potentially so".

Two of the deaths, he said, are thought to be from natural causes.A spokeswoman for G4S, the private security giant that runs the prison, said: "Mr Warren Manners, aged 38, passed away on Wednesday, May 29.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends. As with all deaths in custody, this will be investigated by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman and the cause of death is for the coroner to determine."On Monday, Wales Online interviewed the heartbroken family of 19-year-old Michael Horton, who was allegedly threatened by drug-dealing inmates before his death at the prison on May 7.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
