Police are investigating the "unexplained" death of a man at Wandsworth Prison in south London.
Jegatheeswarn Balasingham, 51, died on Friday evening.
Scotland Yard said it is being treated as ''unexplained''.
A spokesman said: ''A post-mortem examination took place this afternoon. The result was inconclusive and results of further tests are awaited.''
The Prison Service dismissed a report that a hostage situation had taken place.
A spokeswoman said: ''HMP Wandsworth prisoner Jegatheeswarn Balasingham, 51, was taken ill at around 7pm on Friday 26 March 2010.
''Staff were in attendance and attempted resuscitation but Mr Balasingham was pronounced dead at 7.36pm.
Balasingham is reported to have been serving a four-month jail term after being convicted of causing actual bodily harm.
If only serious offenders are sent to prison, why the short sentence of 4 months?
