Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council calls for police review after RCMP cleared in death of Jocelyn George – CHEK
February 06, 2018
The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council is calling for a police review after the B.C. Independent Investigations Office cleared Port Alberni RCMP of any involvement in the death of Jocelyn George.
On Monday, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) released its report, which cleared the Port Alberni RCMP of any wrongdoing in George’s death in June 2016. George was in custody when she was found in medical distress on June 24, 2016. The 18-year-old mother of two toddlers died of heart failure in hospital at Victoria’s Royal Jubilee Hospital.
George was put into one of the detachment’s cells on the morning of June 23, 2016 and was released that afternoon. She was later taken into custody again that evening after a relative called the police.
