Correctional Service Canada

On July 13, 2024, Eugene Raymond Benoit, an inmate from the Regional Treatment Centre (Pacific Institution), died while in our custody of apparent natural causes.

At the time of death, the inmate had been serving an indeterminate sentence, which commenced on February 23, 1987, for second-degree murder.

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