There is still no date set for a possible inquest into the Dec. 19-20, 2011 death of Bradley Stephen Stadey, formerly of Thunder Bay, who died while in custody at the Estevan Police Service.
A provincial Chief Coroner's office spokesman told The Mercury this past week that officials are still waiting for a report from the independent observer, Larry Peters of Moose Jaw, who became part of the investigative team that was established following Stadey's death sometime during the night of Dec. 19 or early morning hours of Dec. 20 while he was being held in police cells following a disturbance in a labour camp on the outskirts of the city.
The Regina Police Service was asked to carry out the investigation into the incidents surrounding Stadey's death and Sergeant Caroline Houston was assigned as lead investigator.
The Chief Coroner's office spokesman said they are also awaiting final toxicology reports from the provincial laboratory and following the filing of these two final reports, a decision regarding the potential date for an inquest will be made.
