Death in Prison: Sedgwick’s Untold Story | Nottingham News

A convicted rapist and sexual assault offender, Jason Sedgwick, died at HMP Littlehey at age 40 from cardiac arrhythmia and ischemic heart disease — a death marred by systemic failures. Routine head counts missed his absence for days, his deteriorating health (including high BMI, untreated sciatica, anxiety, and depression) went unmonitored, and he ignored medical advice to stop a kidney-harming medication. Over 1,000 pills were found stockpiled — no overdose detected — while an officer’s failure to properly check his cell due to darkness and lack of light on the day of his death raised alarms. Though the inquest ruled it natural causes, Sedgwick’s death is now seen as a tragic symptom of neglect — making him the 42nd inmate to die at HMP Littlehey since January last year.
