Review needed to clear up questions around Nadine Machiskinic’s death, former medical examiner says

A high-profile forensic pathologist has concluded that the case of an Aboriginal woman who fell to her death down a hotel laundry chute “needs to go to an inquest.”

At the request of CBC’s iTeam, Dr. John Butt reviewed the details of the investigation into the death of Nadine Machiskinic, a 29-year-old mother of four who fell to her death at Regina’s Delta Hotel in January 2015. He considered a range of documents including autopsy reports, a report from the Public Complaints Commission and the chief coroner’s report.
