A convicted murderer, being held at a prison near Kingston, has died in custody.
Officials at the Bath Institution say 71 year-old Peter Stark passed away at the Bath Regional Hospital this past Saturday.
Stark had been serving an indeterminate sentence for the first degree murder of a 14 year-old Pickering girl and started his sentence in December of 1994.
A cause of death wasn’t released, but as in all cases of inmate deaths, the Correctional Service of Canada will review the circumstances.
