A Coroners inquest into a man’s death at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre has been called off.

Dylan Levi Judd suffocated to death in his jail cell in November of 2014, and today the BC Coroners Service says it will no longer be doing an inquest into his death, which had been called in 2015.

Spokesperson Andy Watson says a criminal trial that happened last spring in Kamloops Supreme Court gave sufficient information to the public about how Judd died.

Nathaniel David Jessup had shared a jail cell with Judd the night he died, and Jessup was charged in 2018 with second-degree murder.

Jessup though was acquitted of that charge after a nine-day trial. According to a court judgement, a Corrections officer who found Judd dead determined he killed himself, and Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan says the Crown couldn’t prove otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

Prior to serving a prison sentence at KRCC, Judd had been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and being in a house unlawfully, in connection to an incident in Sicamous in October of 2014.
