The family of a Headingley Correctional Institution inmate, who died a week after an undisclosed incident involving guards, has called for an independent investigation into his death.
William Walter Ahmo, 45, died on Sunday. The RCMP is investigating the circumstances that led to Ahmo being injured, and an autopsy was to be performed Tuesday.

Under such circumstances, it is mandatory for the medical examiner to call an inquest. Ahmo s son, sister and mother, in statements released Tuesday, demanded the investigation into his death be conducted by an independent body and not the RCMP, Winnipeg police or the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba.
The family of William Walter Ahmo is demanding a "truly independent" investigation into his death, which they blame on correctional officers at Headingley Correctional Institution.
