［2023年4月9日］
懲教署表示，一名於荔枝角收押所被還押在囚人士，今日（4月9日）於公立醫院因病離世。
該名在囚人士62歲，於2023年3月因「管有危險藥物」而被還押。據稱他患有喉癌，需要長期接受院所醫院及公立醫院治療跟進，他被還押後，直至3月18日因身體不適，被送往醫院治理，惟留院期間病情惡化，延至今日凌晨1時55分證實不治。
懲教署已將事件呈交警方，將安排死因裁判法庭進行死因研訊。
A remanded inmate at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre has passed away in a public hospital due to illness, according to an announcement by the Correctional Services Department today (April 9).
The 62-year-old inmate was detained in March 2023 for "possession of dangerous drugs". He was suffering from throat cancer and required long-term treatment and follow-up at institutional and public hospitals. After being remanded, he was sent to the hospital for treatment on March 18 due to physical discomfort, but his condition continued to deteriorate during his hospitalization until he passed away at 1:55 am today.
The Correctional Services Department has reported the incident to the police and will arrange for a coroner's inquest to determine the cause of death.
The passing of the inmate raises questions about the provision of medical care in correctional facilities and the treatment of inmates with serious illnesses. The public will be looking to the authorities for answers and reassurances that appropriate measures are being taken to ensure the well-being of all those in custody.
