nhaled, and we will be looking into whether that happened and how it could be prevented”, says Dr. Richard Smithson, an expert at the Western Health and Social Services Board.

The discovery comes six months after a similar incident directly opposite the facility.

A province-wide alert was sparked in August after a luxury hotel in Donegal closed its spa pool due to high levels of legionella bacteria.

Guests at the Carlton Redcastle Hotel were ordered out of the pool after test results were found to be above the acceptable levels of the bacteria.

Yet, prison governor Tom Woods says he does not think the death was connected to the bacteria.

"The gentleman concerned had serious medical complications and was terminally ill. "We haven't seen the post mortem results, he would have been with a low immune system very susceptible to different viruses and bugs. "Until we get the definitive post mortem results we'll not really know, but at this stage the indications are that he did not die of Legionnaires' disease."
