The coroner's office is investigating another reported overdose death inside the Barton Street Jail from over a month ago that was never released to the public.
Regional coroner Dr. Jack Stanborough confirmed there were two deaths from inmates who were rushed to hospital — one Tuesday night, and another on March 25.
"They were pretty similar. They were both hospital deaths," he said.
Preliminary toxicity screens from the first death have come back from the lab, and "there's a fairly reasonable chance we're going to see that one go to inquest," Stanborough said. A mandatory inquest is called anytime an inmate dies what is deemed an "unnatural death."
"If they're similar, we might end up [doing inquests] on them both," he said.
Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services spokesperson Brent Ross confirmed the death, but added the ministry is not bound to release news of the incident to the public.
"The ministry only notifies the police and coroner, who then notify the individual's next of kin. There is no duty to notify the public," Ross said. "Given the matter is under both internal and police investigations, it would be inappropriate to provide further detail."
Both Hamilton police and the ministry have also launched an investigation into how 38-year-old Marty Tykoliz died after being rushed to hospital from the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre twice this week. City ambulance crews had been called to the detention centre a startling 12 times between Monday and Wednesday morning for inmates all suffering from overdose-like symptoms. Three inmates were first taken to hospital with overdose symptoms Monday, and Tykoliz was one of them.
All three men were brought back to the jail some hours later, sources say. But paramedics were called back to the jail Tuesday after Tykoliz's heart stopped. He died in hospital that night.
Hamilton police did not respond to requests for comment on the March death, and have not released the deceased man's name.
