The bodies of Gosling and her children were found last week by RCMP in their home in Tisdale, in an apparent murder-suicide. The body of her boyfriend, Steve O’Shaughnessy, was found later the same day in Prince Albert.
Gosling’s youngest child, a baby girl, was found unharmed. She’s now being cared for by family.
