Inquiry conclusions seen by MaltaToday show that out of these five deaths, one was a suicide and the other four were attributed to natural causes by pathologists.
Four of the five concluded inquiries concern the deaths that happened at the Corradino Correctional Facility last year. The other concerns a death that happened in 2018.
