An inmate of the Toronto South Detention Centre has been charged with manslaughter for allegedly killing a fellow prisoner.
Police allege on October 3 an inmate was assaulted by another man at the notorious maximum security prison on Horner Avenue that can house up to 1,650 inmates.
The victim sustained injuries and was taken to hospital where he died, officials said.
He has been identified as Euplio Cusano, 69, of Toronto.
Ivan Ademovic, 54, of Toronto, was charged with the death.
He appeared in Ontario Court of Justice on October 7.
A 2020 report found that inmates at the prison were subject to confinement, infrequent changes of bedding and clothes, outbreaks of diseases such as scabies, and undue stress caused by repeated lockdowns.
