Young offender, 16, found dying in cell hours after asking to see medical staff

The Metro says: A 16-year-old boy who died in the custody of the prison service was found lying unresponsive in his cell hours after asking for medical help, an inquest has heard.

Caden Stewart complained about a headache after playing football and lifting weights at Cookham Wood Young Offenders’ Institute, Kent, in June 2019.

The inquest, which is taking place before a jury, heard that he pressed the emergency bell in his cell later that afternoon asking to see healthcare staff.

Senior Coroner Patricia Harding told jurors he was seen by prison staff but nobody from the healthcare team.
