It wasn't until Myles was handcuffed that the medical situation The man's body deteriorated dramatically.
His body tensed, then he started to shake. I knew something was wrong, the policeman recalls, his throat tight with emotion.
Based on my previous experiences, I knew he was going to die.
A quote from Bill Rowley, police officer
Once on scene, Sean Nave, a former paramedic, immediately began offering first aid to Myles.
When I arrived, I saw that Myles was handcuffed, but he seemed aggressive to me . It was as I got closer that I understood that he was in medical distress.
Initially believing that the inmate was having an epileptic seizure, the idea of an overdose slowly occurred to him. It was also Sean Nave who administered the two doses of naloxone.
Immediately called for assistance, paramedics were able to take Myles Sanderson to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. However, already in the ambulance, no heartbeat or pulse was perceptible, despite the medical care that continued to be administered to him.
Myles Sanderson was finally pronounced dead once he arrived at the hospital.
As we began the mid-day break, Eddie Head, the representative of Myles Sanderson's family in this investigation, wanted to speak on behalf of the James Smith community.
Mr. Head thanked Saskatchewan's Chief Coroner, Clive Weighill, for his work, particularly during this inquest, but also during the one held in January. The latter focused on the victims and the means to be taken to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
En as a sign of thanks, a canvas painted by an artist from the Cree Nation was given to him.
