Bolivian Inmate's TB Death in UK Prison

0:00On April 20, a Bolivian inmate named Alvaro Mendoza-Celarico died in a Nottingham hospital after battling tuberculosis while locked up at HMP, Latham Grange Prison. The 32-year-old had been there since January 2021 and passed away on November 18, 2024, from a ruptured bowel link to his illness. The prison dealt with several TV cases back in late 2021, prompting officials to offer screenings to everyone inside. Mendoza-Celarico turned down the test at that time, according to the inquest. By early October, he was showing serious signs of trouble. Nurses checked him on October 6 after a guard raised concerns, and the next day, his, condition crashed hard enough to trigger an emergency code blue. Paramedics rushed him to Nottingham City Hospital, weighing just 43 kilograms down nearly 30 kilograms from when he first arrived at the Category B facility. Doctors confirmed TB right away.
