Beszterczey was found guilty of first-degree murder and was serving an indeterminate sentence at the time of his death.
His cause of death has not been revealed, however in a Correctional Service of Canada media statement they say they will review the circumstances surrounding his death and it is their policy that the police and the coroner are notified.
