N.B. coroner's inquest rescheduled
A coroner's inquest into the deaths of Wesley Geneau and Jarrett Lunn, inmates in a New Brunswick correctional centre, has been rescheduled for September. The inquest was originally scheduled for June 9-13 but will now take place Sept. 15-19, a news release from the provincial government says. Jury selection will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 15 at the Edmundston courthouse in Carrefour Assomption. The inquest will begin immediately after the selection. An inquest is a formal court proceeding that allows the public presentation of evidence relating to death. Geneau and Lunn were inmates at the Madawaska Correctional Centre who both died at the Edmundston Regional Hospital on Feb. 6 and April 9, 2022, due to combined drug toxicity, according to the release. Deputy chief coroner Emily Caissy and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the deaths. The jury will have the chance to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths with similar circumstances. The New Brunswick Coroner Service is an independent fact-finding agency that may not make any finding of legal responsibility. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
