Calgary police not investigating death in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, but will review RCMP's investigation
Social Sharing
The Calgary Police Service says it is not investigating the Nunavut RCMP over a death Pond Inlet earlier this month.
That's after the RCMP originally told CBC News that Calgary police would investigate after a man died during an interaction with police on May 4.
In an email, a spokesperson for the Calgary police said they cannot conduct the investigation.
"We can confirm that due to capacity restraints, the Calgary Police Service will not be investigating the incident that occurred in Pond Inlet on May 4, 2025. However, the [Calgary Police Service] will conduct a case review once the RCMP investigation is finalized," wrote Amy Castonguay, a spokesperson for the Calgary Police Service.
The Nunavut RCMP has an agreement with Ottawa and Calgary police to investigate circumstances where people die in police custody.
When asked, Nunavut RCMP would not comment further on the investigation, but said once an external investigator is available they will conduct an investigation if they determine it's necessary.

Soft sentences and second, third, fourth, fifth and tenth chances are the norm. Take, say, British Columbia's very own Taylor Dueck. Cops call him a 'dangerous sex offender' and now say he's out of prison and in Kamloops. '(Dueck) represents a serious and imminent risk to persons under the age of 16, including children,' the most recent RCMP notification reads. But someone, somewhere in the system, LOVES Dueck. On Feb. 9, 2024, one of the old softies thought it would be a smashing idea for Dueck, 30, to work with young equestrians — rehab and all, you know, offender-centred therapy. A psychic was not necessary to predict the inevitable. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Someone thought horseback lessons with kids was a good idea for Tyler Dueck. ABBOTSFORD POLICE In the bathroom of a Kelowna, B.C., equestrian facility, he sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years less a day. Toss in some time served, and he's back in town. It emerged that, at the time, he was under court-ordered supervision by a subcontractor from Community Living B.C. The supervisor sat in a car while the sexual assault unfolded. Dueck's 2024 escapade was not preceded by a public warning that the pedophile was about to be sprung on Kelowna. The victim's father — whose name is protected by a publication ban — called the hush-hush approach 'mind-boggling.' It wasn't like the cops didn't want to issue a public warning — they did, but soft-headed bureaucrats torpedoed the idea. Now, a child will have to live with this horror for the rest of her life. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. For anyone familiar with these kinds of outrages, it may have been shocking but not a surprise. Why would anyone in their right mind think releasing Dueck was a grand idea? His criminal history is a dreary catalogue of sexual assaults, sexual assaults with a weapon/threat/bodily harm, and sexual interference of a person under 16. He is a hard-wired pedophile. Taylor Dueck has been charged with sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and breach of probation. Photo by Handout / Abbotsford Police Even in the far-left B.C. legislature there was outrage. At the time, the then-opposition BC United slammed the NDP government over the case. The government ordered an investigation into how something so outrageous could happen. Dueck on Easy Street was called a 'despicable failure.' And it's not like there haven't been precedents. In 2022, he was denied parole over worries he'd reoffend. Still, he was released at the end of his sentence in 2023. There were also public warnings in 2020 when the powers that be set him loose in the Fraser Valley. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. There was no such warning in 2023, and then he attacked the little girl at the equestrian centre. Cops say there are several conditions for Dueck on probation — there always are. As we've seen in the past, Dueck's twisted compulsions are overwhelming, and we know that a breach is a live-and-let-live matter in this kinda country. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Back in 2023, the owner of the equestrian centre was told that Dueck was 'developmentally delayed.' When she inquired as to the nature of his crimes, she was essentially told to piss off. His privacy rights and all that. The thing about pedophiles like Taylor Dueck is that they don't change. They can't be cured. No amount of hugs and understanding will stop their sick compulsions. A third-year criminology class might be convinced by Dr. Hippie that these losers can be fixed, but reality tells us something else altogether different. bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Olympics Canada Sunshine Girls Ontario Golf

Investigation concludes into Fredericton crash that killed two teens, young adult
Fredericton police have concluded an investigation into a triple fatality on Douglas Avenue last May. The incident occurred in the early hours of May 5, 2024, when a speeding car struck a tree and landed on another vehicle. Two males aged 22 and 17 and a female, aged 14, died at the scene. The two other passengers, a 15-year-old male and 14-year-old female, were brought to hospital with critical and minor injuries. The four occupants of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries. Police attempted to stop the vehicle when it passed on a different street but lost them as they were turning around to follow them. The crash happened several minutes later. 'Following a comprehensive investigation that included laboratory analysis and DNA testing, authorities have conclusively determined the identity of the individual who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident,' Fredericton police said in a Facebook post. The late driver cannot be identified due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and as a result of the findings no charges will be laid. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
