Death of Man with Epilepsy in Winnipeg Remand Centre Under Investigation
Manitoba Justice says it's investigating the death of a Winnipeg Remand Centre inmate whose wife says was denied his epilepsy medication.
Rochelle Pranteau says her common-law husband, Errol Greene, told her staff denied him his medicine -- which he took three times a day -- from the time he arrived at the institution on April 29th.
On May 1st, Pranteau says she was on the phone Greene from the institution when he began slipping into a seizure, and she could hear him struggling for breath.
A spokesperson for Manitoba Justice would not say whether Greene was refused his medication, citing privacy legislation, but said inmates sometimes need to see institutional doctors before medication is approved.
