Man found dead at home on Salt Spring, woman dies later
The couple’s three sons were not home at the time, said RCMP. No one else was injured. Police said they are not looking for suspects and no charges are anticipated. The causes of death are still being investigated.
The couple were having marital ups and downs as many do, said family friend Holger Hermann. Those issues were exacerbated by problems associated with the pandemic. “Oh gosh, they are just salt-of- the-earth, rich down-to-earth country folk, you know with the horse, the cow, farming on the land,” said Hermann.
Kisae Petersen, executive director of Islanders Working Against Violence, said in a small community of 10,000 the death of the Quesnels is a major incident that will touch everyone’s lives.
