Convicted Rapist Who Attacked Newfoundland Women Dies in Custody of Ontario Prison

Sofyan Boalag, serving an indeterminate sentence as a dangerous offender, died in Bath Institution; authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances of his death.

  • On Nov. 4, 2025, Correctional Service Canada said convicted serial rapist Sofyan Boalag died in federal custody on Saturday.
  • Boalag was convicted in 2016 of raping two women and a 15-year-old in 2012 and was declared a dangerous offender in 2017, receiving an indeterminate sentence.
  • At 46, he was being held at the medium-security Bath Institution about 20 kilometres west of Kingston, Ontario, Correctional Service Canada says.
  • A news release from regional communications manager Mike Shrider said police and a coroner will be notified and investigate, but privacy laws prevent disclosing Boalag's death details.
  • Boalag had been stabbed repeatedly inside Atlantic Institution in February 2023 and filed a Federal Court lawsuit in January claiming he would never walk again, while the Attorney General of Canada said he provoked the stabbing and failed to ensure his own safety.
