A cause of death has not been released.

Saskatchewan Justice officials said at the time that foul play was not suspected.

A public inquest into the death of a person while being held in custody is required unless the coroner determines that the death was due entirely to natural causes and was not preventable.

Neil Robertson will preside over the inquest, which is scheduled for five days starting on Monday, June 19, 2017 at Saskatoon’s Court of Queen’s Bench.
