The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) confirmed his death on May 27 in a statement published online last week and a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) will be held in due course.
The news comes just days after details emerged of 69-year-old Richard Stevenson's passing at Barlinnie prison while on remand from Glasgow Sheriff Court. An inquiry into his death will also be held at a later date.
FAIs are mandatory in Scotland when someone dies in custody, they are held in public and presided over by a sheriff, who hears evidence and issues recommendations where necessary.
