Investigators are examining whether exposed electrical wiring may have caused the fire that killed inmate Treon “Chucky” George at His Majesty’s Prison.

Sources indicate George may have tampered with wiring inside his cell shortly before the blaze, which could have caused the electrical components to ignite the foam on his bed.

However, investigators have not reached a final conclusion on the cause of the fire.

The latest information also casts doubt on earlier suggestions that George had access to a lighter or another prohibited item that could have been used to start the blaze.

The death has renewed scrutiny of electrical safety within prison cells, as well as the monitoring and support provided to inmates with possible mental health needs.
