Saskatchewan’s chief coroner, Clive Weighill, said preliminary autopsy results show Myles Sanderson did not suffer from blunt force trauma, addressing concerns that he was injured by police
earlier this month: one into the deaths in the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby village of Weldon, and the other into the death of the accused killer, Myles Sanderson, in police custody after his arrest.
A coroner’s inquest is a public venue where a jury hears testimony from witnesses to determine facts around a death or deaths, and can make recommendations on how to prevent similar situations in the future. Inquests are not criminal proceedings, and do not find fault.along the side of a Saskatchewan highway, after an intensive four-day manhunt and high-speed chase.on the James Smith Cree Nation, and another man slain in the nearby town of Weldon on Sept. 4.
In response to a question from a reporter, Mr. Weighill said he wanted to release that “one preliminary fact” that blunt force trauma had been ruled out, addressing possible concerns Mr. Sanderson was injured by police. Both Damien and Myles Sanderson were from James Smith Cree Nation, and well-known in the community where the violence occurred. Myles Sanderson was on statutory release on a prison term at the time, and had been wanted since the spring for breaching the conditions of his release for failure to report to his parole officer.
”Right now we’re knocked down,” said Mr. Moostoos, whose brother was also injured in the attack. “But we will get back up and we’ll get back up with pride when our community comes together.’’
