THUNDER BAY – Of the 31 stab wounds sustained by the 11-year-old victim in the LaBelle murder trial, allegedly inflicted by his mother Courtney LaBelle, two penetrated his heart, resulting in a rapid loss of blood, and death soon after, according to the post-mortem report.
Several stab wounds penetrated through the skin and soft tissue and impacted vital organs, including the spleen, liver, lungs, and heart. “In most instances, without any immediate intervention, these injuries, even if they are small, they lead to death because the heart pumps and it squeezes out the blood,” Von Both said. “This is a very significant injury. There was significant damage to the heart. This is where he lost his blood.”
“[The victim] would have deteriorated quickly,” he said. “But sometimes the time of pronouncement doesn’t always mean the person who died was up and well up to this point.”Carlucci was the first officer to enter the home on Victoria Avenue West on the morning of Jan. 1, 2020, after receiving a report of a mother stabbing her child.
Fearing for his safety and that of others inside the residence, Carlucci said he needed to act quickly and he either removed or threw Eugene LaBelle off of Courtney LaBelle.
