The Ministry of Public Security confirmed the information to TVA Nouvelles on Saturday.

This suspension is in addition to that of a corrections employee announced a few days ago.

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Coroner's office are still conducting investigations to understand the chain of events that led to the death of Nicous D'André Spring last week.

It was learned Thursday that the 21-year-old was in unlawful detention at the Montreal Detention Facility, when he was fatally injured in an altercation with correctional officers.

According to the Ministry of Public Security, he should have been released on December 23, after his appearance by videoconference.

He died in hospital on Christmas Day from his injuries.
