Guernsey Prison Service said Darren Salituri, 39, was found dead in his cell

A prisoner has been found dead in his cell in Guernsey.

The island's prison service said it had launched an internal investigation after 39-year-old Darren Salituri was found by prison officers at Les Nicolles in St Sampson.

Prison governor John De Carteret said the death of Salituri would "undoubtedly have an impact on many, not least his family" and described it as a tragedy.

Det Ch Insp Ian Tanner, from Guernsey Police, said the death was currently not being treated as suspicious and a coroner's investigation was taking place as inquiries continued.
