Inquest into death in custody of one of New Zealand's most prolific burglarsSUPPLIED Stacey Anthony Spinks died on February 20, 2016. It is impossible to say whether hourly checks on Stacey Spinks​ - who died in custody after complaining of chest pains - would have prevented his death, an inquest has heard. Spinks, who had previously complained of chest pains to escape custody, was found unresponsive during a morning check on February 20, 2016, while in Rimutaka Prison. An autopsy found Spinks died of coronary artery thrombosis or blockage of the flow of blood to the heart. While in custody in Christchurch in 2002 he complained of chest pains and was taken to hospital.
