Justin Thompson was supposed to get out of jail this week, after beating his main charges and finishing up a minor sentence.

Instead, he died Monday in his London provincial jail cell of a drug overdose, just days before completing a three-week term for failing to get fingerprinted.

His cellmate, a man accused in a Sarnia murder case, was clinging to life in hospital.

Both men, sources say, fell victim to illegal drugs — likely heroin — at Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre (EMDC), a frequent flashpoint for troubles in Ontario’s correctional system.

His cellmate, Warren Williams, 45, of Sarnia was charged in June with first-degree murder, along with Lee Dion, 30 of Sarnia, in the death of Jonathan Pike, 26, on March 25.
