A coroner’s inquest into the suicide death of a man in a Saskatchewan R-C-M-P holding cell has heard how a jail guard’s watch log entries didn’t match the time of death.
Stan Hadwin was on duty the day Corey John Cross was found with white fabric wrapped around his neck and the bars of his cell at the Swift Current detachment in April 2009.

The inquest heard yesterday that during a five-minute period on the afternoon of Cross’s death, Hadwin recorded two log entries indicating the 36-year-old man was resting.
But evidence provided by two R-C-M-P officers states Cross had been pronounced dead four minutes before Hadwin’s first entry.
A coroner’s jury is expected to hear a summary of the evidence today.
