Wasn't expecting this...
Carl Williams
An inmate in a high security prison, believed to be convicted gangland killer, Carl Williams, has died after he suffered head injuries and went into cardiac arrest.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said paramedics arrived at Barwon Prison about 1.18pm today to find the man in a critical condition.
Two independent sources have said the man was Williams.
A police spokeswoman confirmed there had been a death as a result of an assault at Barwon Prison.
‘‘Victoria Police can confirm that a male prisoner has died following an assault which occurred earlier this afternoon,’’ the spokeswoman said.
Police have not released the man’s age or what he was imprisoned for.
Underworld figure Mick Gatto said he had heard unconfirmed rumours about Williams having died but said that was all he had heard.
‘‘I would rather let dead dogs lie,’’ he said.
‘‘If you hear any more let me know but I would rather not comment on him.’’
He said Williams was ‘‘certainly not’’ a friend.
