Inmate convicted in child porn case dies of injuries suffered in prison fight, authorities say

Christian Maire, 40, died following an altercation at the Milan detention center in Michigan, officials said Friday.

A man serving a 40-year sentence for his role in an international child pornography ring has died following a fight at a federal detention center in Michigan, authorities said Friday.

Christian Maire, 40, of New York, was pronounced dead following an altercation involving seven inmates Tuesday at the Milan detention center about 50 miles southwest of Detroit, a statement from the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.

“It’s a horrible tragedy and it seems something like this should have been able to be avoided,” Maire’s lawyer Mark Kriger told the Detroit News on Friday.

Three of the other inmates involved were treated for serious injuries and two prison staff members had minor injuries, the statement said.
