A 25-year-old man died Wednesday while in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre, the province says.

Manitoba Justice said it will not release more information about the man because of privacy reasons. 

The death has been reported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, as required under legislation, the province said in a news release Thursday.

Last year, a 39-year-old man died at the pretrial detention facility, located at 141 Kennedy St., on Sept. 15. The province announced his death the next day.
