A homicide investigation is underway after the death of a convicted killer at a federal prison near Winnipeg.
The Correctional Service of Canada says Duane Edward Taylor, who was 53, was found unresponsive in his cell at the medium-security Stony Mountain Institution on Saturday.
Staff members began CPR and emergency services were called in, but he could not be resuscitated.
RCMP officers from the Stonewall detachment were called in that evening.
The CSC says Taylor had been serving an indeterminate sentence for first-degree murder since September, 1982.
No other details about his death have been released.
