Ronnie Gill, assistant warden at Pacific Institution in Abbotsford, B.C., does not say what caused Brault’s death.Gill says police and the coroner have been notified and Correctional Service Canada will also review the circumstances.
A story in the Ottawa Journal, which stopped publication in 1980, says Brault was 24 years old in 1969 when he and another man pleaded guilty to the shooting deaths of Gerald MacDonald of Ottawa and Michigan resident Kenneth Vallee. Brault told the court he became angry after being passed dangerously by two cars on an Ontario highway and after he chased each vehicle down, he and his friend shot both men.
