The coroner's inquiry on Stephen Rigby's death starts today

 Stephen Rigby was looking for help and was inciting policemen to kill him.  His phone store was successful but, at 27, he was abusing alcohol and drugs.  On december 19, Dr. Jasen Wagner recommends his hospitalization.  He was discharged a few days later.  His mother was told : "other patients without family support and addicted to methadone need a hospital bed more than Stephen".  When he was arrested, Stephen was driving his car and shot in the air with his revolver.  The coroner's inquiry will be held in a Saskatoon hotel.  The wish for a coroner's inquiry was posted on january 16, 2020 on this blog.
