Once on scene paramedics found one man without vital signs, the other man had a pulse.
Nurses from EMDC were performing CPR on the men.
An EMS official says that neither of the men had any apparent physical injuries.
One man has since been pronounced dead at LHSC.
The second inmate remains in stable condition at the hospital.
London Police Service Major Crime Section continues to investigate.
Police say there was no evidence of trauma to either individual and foul play is not suspected at this time.

Kargus’ cellmate Anthony George was charged with second-degree murder.
