Myles Sanderson, the suspect in the large-scale stabbing in Canada, passed away on Wednesday after experiencing “medical distress” following his detention, according to Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
With Sanderson’s passing, both suspects in the incident that shook Saskatchewan, Canada, are now deceased. A day after the attacks, Sanderson’s brother Damien Sanderson was discovered dead with injuries that were not thought to be self-inflicted, according to authorities.
Ten of the stabbing victims died, and both brothers were wanted in connection with their deaths. When a reporter questioned whether Myles Sanderson was the murderer, Blackmore responded, “Our witness reports that we have gotten have indicated that Myles Sanderson was the person responsible,” however she added that the investigation is still ongoing to determine exactly who was responsible.
Both brothers were sought in connection with the murders of ten of the stabbing victims. Myles Sanderson was the individual responsible, according to witness testimonies, Blackmore said in response to a reporter’s inquiry. However, she noted that the investigation is still ongoing to identify the precise perpetrator.
