US EditionHearing on police-involved death of Myles Gray resuming after obscenity led to delay
The hearing resumes after a four-week pause caused by counsel resignation following an obscene remark; seven officers deny misconduct in Gray's 2015 death, officials said.
- On Feb. 24, 2026, the Vancouver hearing into Myles Gray's death resumes after a four-week adjournment caused by an obscene remark and Hickford's resignation, which he called `bewildering and troubling`.
- After a remark picked up on Jan. 21, Hickford said he was `bewildered and troubled`, and his lawyer later said he could not recall making it, prompting an investigation by the Law Society of B.C.
- The adjournment allowed replacement counsel Brock Martland to review the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner of B.C.'s case involving seven Vancouver officers who deny misconduct, and a 2023 coroner's jury concluded Gray's death was a homicide after hearing he died shortly after a beating that caused severe injuries.
- Gray's family pursued the hearing after a 2024 discipline authority cleared the seven officers, and the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner of B.C. says it will run over three weeks.
- Across a timeline from 2015 to 2024, the matter continues to raise oversight questions as a coroner's jury found homicide and a discipline authority cleared officers.
