RCMP confirm dead Manitoba jail inmate was a former police officer
WINNIPEG - RCMP say an inmate who died at the Headingley Correctional Institution outside Winnipeg was a former police officer who was serving time for sexual assault.
Police say the body of Richard Dow was found Tuesday morning inside his cell.
An autopsy has determined he died of natural causes and no criminal activity is suspected.
Dow, 58, ran a modelling business while also serving on the Winnipeg police force years ago.
He was sentenced in September to 16 months in jail after pleading guilty to 11 counts of sexual assault and one charge of simple assault.
The victims ranged in age from 17 years old to 23 years old and were assaulted during photo shoots.
