Roy Jacobs
Roy Jacobs, 77, of Dibden Purlieu, died at HMP Winchester on 27 September 2020 after a major stroke. His cellmate raised the alarm early in the morning, and he was taken to hospital, where a scan showed a brain haemorrhage. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman found that there was no appropriate care plan for his chronic conditions, which led to inconsistent care. An inquest in September 2023 concluded that he died of natural causes.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness (neglect alleged). The inquest concluded natural causes, while the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman found that staff had no appropriate care plan for his chronic conditions, which led to inconsistent care.
