US EditionSaskatoon Police, Family Dispute Imitation Firearm Claim After Fatal Hospital Altercation
Trevor Dubois, 36, died after a restraint attempt by hospital security amid reports of a firearm; methamphetamine and imitation weapon found, police said.
- On Friday, Trevor Dubois, a 36-year-old patient, died after a physical altercation with hospital security at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon Police said.
- Security officers entered the room last week after reports that a firearm was seen inside, but Dubois' family disputes the imitation firearm claim, with Jayden Dubois saying it was a cigarette holder and lighter.
- Police say they found an imitation firearm and methamphetamine in the room, while Trevor Dubois was undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer at the time of his death.
- The Saskatchewan Health Authority declared the death a critical incident and launched a formal internal review while police continue investigating; contracted security guards are now banned from SHA facilities, and Dubois' family and the Saskatoon Tribal Council will hold a news conference on Monday.
- The SHA's December AI pilot to detect weapons comes as recent incidents prompt the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses to call for metal detectors and the SHA pledges to hire an Indigenous patient liaison with Prince Albert Grand Council.
