A cause of death has not yet been determined, but Wilby said foul play is not suspected.
Three investigations will take place, Wilby said.
An investigation will be conducted by the police, and the ministry’s investigative services division will undertake an internal investigation.
The Saskatchewan Coroners Service will also conduct an investigation.
Wilby said the coroner’s investigation could result in a coroner’s inquest under section 20 of the Coroner’s Act.
