The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) says that on Friday, staff called security after safety concerns involving an admitted patient were reported. Once security officers arrived, a physical altercation occurred, during which Dubois became unresponsive. Staff rushed to his aid, but it was too late.
The SHA says it has contacted the Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) to help support the patient’s family. Global News reached out to the STC on Saturday, which said it is unable to comment on the situation at this time.
An investigation by the police and coroner’s office is ongoing to determine if the death is suspicious.
The Saskatoon Police Service has not responded to requests for more information.
