Rescheduled inquest into indigenous inmate’s death in Saskatoon to go ahead
SASKATOON — A public inquest into the death of an inmate at the Saskatoon Regional Psychiatric Centre is to go ahead next month after a lengthy delay.
An examination of what happened to Kinew James was to have been held last April, but was postponed indefinitely when new documents surfaced.
James, who was 35, died in her cell in January 2013 after an apparent heart attack.
Inmates have alleged that she was denied timely medical assistance.
