Six men have been arrested after an inmate died at a Leicestershire prison on Tuesday.

Leicestershire Police said they were called to HMP Fosse Way, a category C prison in Leicester, after a 31-year-old man was found unresponsive in his cell.

Six men have been arrested in connection with the man’s death and are in police custody.

The inmate’s death is currently being treated as unexplained, the force said.

The new jail, on the site of the old HMP Glen Parva, was built to house 1,715 prisoners and is managed by Serco.

A Serco spokesman said: “We can confirm that a 31-year-old man has died at Fosse Way prison.

“The matter is now being investigated by Leicestershire Police.”
