There has been another death at the Clarenville Correctional Centre for Women. 

The RCMP confirmed Sunday evening that a woman died Saturday at the prison. 

The Clarenville detachment is investigating the death, along with the chief medical examiner's office. Police have not released any details.

Saturday's death follows a sudden death at the facility in late April. 

Just over one month ago, a 27-year-old woman choked to death in her cell, according to police, who said they didn't believe the death was suspicious.
