No inquest planned in Matuchuk deaths
Coroner Charles E. Irwin said no inquest will be held into the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Matuchuk unless new light emerges. After a Tuesday conference with County Attorney G. K. Thompson and Assistant County Attorney Robert W. Greene, he noted the evidence cannot confirm if Matuchuk killed his wife and then himself or vice versa. He added that with both dead, an inquest would not yield concrete results and would waste taxpayer money. Also noted is a line about edible fish varieties in the United States.
