Inquest Called In Death Of Saskatchewan Indigenous Woman Found In B.C. Park

  • Inquest Called In Death Of Saskatchewan Indigenous Woman Found In B.C. Park
VICTORIA — A public inquest will be held into the death of a Saskatchewan Indigenous woman whose body was found in a British Columbia park.
 
 
Deanna Desjarlais, who was 27, was originally from Saskatoon and was a member of the Kawacatoose First Nation in Saskatchewan.
 
 
Desjarlais went to B.C. in late 2015 and had numerous contacts with the health, justice and social services sectors in the months that followed.
 
 
She was last heard from in April 2016 and her family reported her missing a month later.
 
 
Desjarlais was found dead in Surrey's Hawthorne Park in May 2016, but she was not identified until that September.
 
 
 
 
The inquest will look into the circumstances surrounding her death and come up with recommendations that could prevent similar deaths.
 
 
After Desjarlais' body was found, a family friend questioned what police did before her remains were identified and why they never publicly relyased a missing person bulletin with a photo of Desjarlais.
 
 
Vancouver police said at the time that they seriously investigated Desjarlais as a missing person, even though they didn't issue a media release.
