Family of man found dead in HMP Forest Bank cell could finally get answers more than three years on

The family of a man who was found dead in his cell are set to finally get answers over how he died. Raymond Lucy was 63-years-old when he was found dead in his cell in Forest Bank on July 11, 2019.

A formal investigation was opened into his death on July 16, with an inquest into Mr Lucy's death opening on January 2, 2020.

The opening heard a pathologist listed Mr Lucy's cause of death as pre-existing lung conditions but his family believe it 'could and should' have been avoided with 'proper medical care'.

A heartbreaking series of delays meant that the Chadderton man's family have had to wait almost three years for answers, though, with the coronavirus pandemic halting hearings for over six months.
