Death of Siksika Nation man who fell from building deemed non-criminal: police
Calgary police say the death of a 21-year-old Siksika Nation man who fell from a downtown high-rise was not criminal in nature.
Officials say an autopsy completed by the medical examiner determined O'Shea Red Crow's death was non-suspicious.
The CPS homicide unit investigated all the evidence collected at the scene and spoke with multiple witnesses to help make the determination.
Red Crow fell from an apartment building in the 1100 block of Third Street S.E. at about 5 a.m. on Sunday, June 1.
He was initially taken to hospital in life-threatening condition but later died.
Red Crow was remembered by friends and family as 'a gentle giant' and a soft-spoken, humble person.
He played most recently for the Agra Risk Wheatland Kings in Strathmore, Alta., but was also a member of the United States Premier Hockey League's Vernal Oilers.

DAZN and Fubo team up for (almost) all the soccer Canadians want
A decade after streaming apps first shook up the Canadian TV sports rights scene, vibrations of a new shift are being felt. On Monday, DAZN and Fubo, who hold the bulk of the major European soccer leagues in their broadcast stables, confirmed what astute soccer viewers may have figured out a week ago: they're working together. In a Canada-only partnership, the two streamers will now have a subscription carved out on the other's service, allowing Canadians to start bundling their soccer fandom in one place. If they have not already set up year-long subscriptions in one place, that is. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

In other words, if you've been subscribing to English Premier League on Fubo but have been eschewing DAZN's coverage of the UEFA Champions League, perhaps because you just didn't want to have several app subscriptions, you can now add a DAZN soccer package under the Fubo umbrella. That is going live any time. And the opposite is true — and indeed has been true for at least a week — if you are a DAZN subscriber, you can get EPL matches there again, by adding the Fubo sports option. DAZN previously held the rights to EPL but lost them to Fubo beginning in 2022. Fubo subscribers will now be able to add DAZN's 'premium' services inside the Fubo app, like the NFL, rugby and boxing on top of DAZN's soccer rights. (DAZN's pay per view events, like big-tent boxing nights, are not part of the Fubo deal.) This deal with Fubo has prompted DAZN to reset how you can subscribe to their service; previously their premium service gave you across the board access to their various feeds, including NFL Game Pass, UEFA club competitions like the Champions League, and more. DAZN now has three different packages: a basic subscription which gets you NFL, Champions League, Budesliga and more, basically what you've always had; second a 'DAZN+' package, which adds on the Fubo rights, including EPL and Serie A; third a package called DAZN Soccer, which only includes the soccer rights. Long-standing users of Fubo know that their service is more than just a soccer streamer: they've got MLB as well, plus CBC channels, One Soccer, beIN Sports and more. Adding more soccer, adding the NFL, is an exciting thing said Ben Grad, Fubo's Senior Vice-President, Strategic Partnerships and Operations. 'We were already the home of soccer in Canada, and it makes that even stronger,' Grad said. And so does striking a deal with DAZN to have EPL and Serie A land there too. It's a chance to put their brand in front of even more customers. Same goes for DAZN on Fubo. It's all win-win said Grad. 'It's not something that we've decided to distribute broadly,' it's super premium content,' he said. 'And I think they're (DAZN) really excited to enable their customers, or anyone who wants to their platform to have access to that. 'They're looking at us — I don't want to put words in their mouth — but I would imagine that, you know they've looked at us and how much we've been able to grow our own offering in Canada in just a few short years, and seeing like, hey, these guys have been really good at customer acquisition. They have a great content experience. They have some great content on there. It'd be great if we could plug into that and enable that to help grow.' Add it all up: if you want European soccer, you only need to look to one place, be it DAZN or Fubo … unless you want La Liga (TSN) or the FA Cup (Sportsnet). It's almost like we're going back to a universe we used to call 'cable.' pjohnston@

Oilers notebook: Keith Acton fondly recalls 'resilient' Mark Kirton who died after fight with ALS
Former Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup winner and associate coach Keith Acton fondly remembers his friend and ex-NHL forward Mark Kirton, who fought the bravest of fights with ALS before dying Sunday in Ontario. Article content 'It's so sad…he really dedicated himself in every way to generate resources to fight this for others, you know, coming down the pipe, making people aware (ALS),' said Acton, who played three years of OHL junior hockey in Peterborough with Kirton, who was diagnosed with the awful disease in 2018 and died at 67. Article content 'He gave a message on video for (former NHL goalie and TV broadcaster) Greg Millen's funeral (April). Mark was always thinking of others. He was a good player, a good person and so resilient,' said Acton, who was successfully treated for testicular cancer when a Maple Leafs' assistant coach to Pat Quinn. Article content Toronto Maple Leafs' Hall of Famer Borje Salming, Calgary Flames ' assistant GM Chris Snow and Ottawa Senators assistant coach Bob Jones have also succumbed in the last three years to ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, the nerve system disease which affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing a loss of muscle control and eventually a loss of mobility and the ability to eat and speak, paralysis and respiratory failure. Article content No disrespect to Kirton's 266 NHL game career after being a second-round Toronto draft pick in 1978—it's not easy making the best league in the world—but he got more interest for his ALS battle and raising money to draw awareness to the insidious disease. He founded ALS Action Canada with PALS (Patients with ALS), a patient-led alternative to find a cure in 2020. Article content Article content Five years is usually the high bar with people with ALS and Kirton lived seven. In December, 2023, after Kirton spearheaded the effort, the seven Canadian teams got together to help raise funds and reached $1 million. Article content Article content 'He was a dedicated hockey player who loved the game but his dedication to this (ALS) was a whole other level,' said Acton, who won a Cup ring here in 1988, and later was on Dallas Eakins' staff, along with owning a Boston Pizza franchise for about 20 years in Stouffville, Ont. and currently on city council there. Article content Kirton and Acton played three years together in Peterborough, the first season for Roger Neilson, who later would coach the Leafs and Canucks. Acton would go on to play 1,023 NHL games, and Kirton had stops with Toronto, Detroit and Vancouver, becoming an NHL role player, lessons learned from Neilson. Article content 'Mark was strong for his size and he did the basics…he was a Roger (Neilson) kind of player, disciplined and dedicated the defensive side of the game. Good on face-offs, a good penalty-killer and he could score. He wasn't flash and dash but he was a very serviceable player. I'm sure Roger was instrumental in Mark being drafted to the Leafs because, and deservedly so, Roger held Mark in high regard,' said Acton.
