Deemed 'Natural Causes'

Death of an inmate from Bowden Institution

Feb 9, 2024 | 2:38 PM

Officials with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) have announced the death of an inmate at Bowden Institution, south of Red Deer.

On February 7, 2024, CSC officials say Allan Sweeney, an inmate from Bowden Institution, died while in custody of apparent natural causes.

At the time of death, officials say the inmate had been serving an indeterminate sentence, which commenced on October 3, 1975, for non-capital murder and first-degree murder.

CSC says the inmate’s next of kin have been notified.

As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, the Correctional Service of Canada says it will review the circumstances, as CSC policy requires that police and the coroner be notified.
