Investigation under way after death of 34-year-old prisoner at HMP Wymott in Leyland
The 34-year-old, who had 46 convictions to his name, was found dead in his cell...
An inquest will take place after the death of a Leyland prisoner at the age of 34.
Daniel See was found unresponsive in his cell at HMP Wymott on April 29 and the prison service has launched an investigation into his death.
Area Coroner Kate Bisset said: "Mr See died whilst a serving prisoner at HMP Wymott; his death therefore requires an inquest.
"Because this gentleman died in custody there will be a Prisons and Probation Ombudsman investigation, a standard procedure for all deaths in custody. Inquest proceedings cannot conclude until after that investigation."
See was a convicted robber from Liverpool and had 46 previous convictions to his name. In 2013, he was jailed alongside his brother Jamie and their friend Jamie Brooks after carrying out raids at supermarkets and convenience stores in Speke.
