Jail Death Fort Frances

Investigators probing the weekend jail cell death of a 21-year-old Atikokan man say they don't suspect foul play.

Dylan Wreggitt was found ``unresponsive'' in his cell bed early Saturday at Rainy River District Jail in Fort Frances.

An autopsy was performed in Kenora but the cause of death has not been released.

Wreggitt was serving a sentence at the jail but police declined to release the details of the offence.

An attempt by jail staff to revive Wreggitt by performing C-P-R was not successful.

A coroner's inquest is mandatory when someone dies in custody.
