Jer Wood shot himself while under police fire after driving off a ferry in Nanaimo six years ago
An inquest into the death of a man who shot himself while under police fire at the Nanaimo ferry terminal six years ago wrapped up on Monday.
“Your verdict and any recommendations you make will be forwarded to the chief coroner of the province, who may bring them to the attention of the appropriate persons, agencies and ministries of government,” Marzinzik said. The IIO, which looks into police-involved incidents where there is serious injury or death, cleared officers of any wrongdoing in the case.
His girlfriend, Danielle Frost, testified that Wood told her the day before he died that he had shot somebody and that police would have to shoot him, too, because he wasn’t going to go to jail.
