Dead prisoner ‘found bound to bed’
John McGrath, 49, was also discovered with a plastic bag around his mouth, pieces of the bag up his nose and shoelaces tied around his neck, the day before he was due to go on trial for sex offences.
Belfast Coroner John Leckey told a jury the circumstances of McGrath’s death in Maghaberry Prison, Co Antrim, raised questions as to whether his wounds were self-inflicted or whether there was a more sinister explanation.
