B.C. man Myles Gray died on Aug. 13, 2015 following a clash with seven officers that sent him into cardiac arrest and left him with a broken eye socket, a partially dislocated jaw and numerous other injuries.
A coroner’s inquest began Monday to probe the 2015 death of a man severely beaten by a group of Vancouver Police officers in a Burnaby, B.C. backyard.
Police were called to the scene after Gray allegedly sprayed a local resident with water from a garden hose. The B.C. Coroners Service says inquests are mandatory in cases where people die while being detained or in custody of peace officers. On Monday, Marzinzik told the jury it can’t make findings of “legal responsibility,” but can make recommendations to prevent future deaths under similar circumstances, rather than focus on assigning blame to certain individuals.
