Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Four women and three men have been given the onerous duty this week of determining the cause of death and any possible recommendations which might be made in the coroner’s inquest regarding the death of prisoner Blaine Conrad Sargent. The inquest heard Monday that Sargent was just 19 years old and in the custody of the Prince George Correctional Institution when he collapsed after going into medical distress and died a short time later in a P.G. hospital. The jury heard Sargent had been transported back from Williams Lake earlier in the day September 21, 2012 for a court date on a breach of recognizance charge and had spent time in the custody of both the sheriff ’s department and Williams Lake RCMP as well as BC Corrections. Presiding coroner Donita Kuzma encouraged the jury to listen and observe witnesses, and ask questions in order to determine where, when, how and by what means Mr. Sargent died. Coroner Counsel Roderick MacKenzie, who represents the deceased and can also act on behalf of the family, told the jury they would hear from many witnesses, including the provincial toxicologist who was expected to give evidence regarding a “packet” which was in Sargent’s stomach when he died.
