Coroner's Inquest Decision Sparks Editorial Outcry
The Pas Herald laments the decision not to hold a coroner's inquest into a local tragedy. The piece contrasts Winnipeg a day earlier where a 13 year old died in a fire and notes past drownings that did lead to inquests. It urges examination of housing on Indian Reserves and highlights five abandoned children from winter, urging action over empty words.
