      In an unrelated case, Crown Counsel is now considering a Terrace RCMP recommendation of manslaughter and obstruction of justice charges related to the death of 25-year-old Troy Mason. 
       
      The victim was found dead in his home at Gitaus, a Kitselas First Nation subdivision, 20 kilometres northeast of Terrace, on Dec. 21, 2011.
       
      According to police, the obstruction charge has been recommended against a 22-year-old man while a 26-year-old man could face the manslaughter charge.
