The second man was later identified as Wang, said OPP in the statement about Xue's death. Xue began serving his sentence in Februrary, 2020. In a statement, CSC said they take "the death of an inmate very seriously" and that it's mandated they review the circumstance of any inmate death while they are in custody.
