Family members looking forward to scheduled coroner’s inquest, await answers to lingering questions
A woman whose son passed away while in police custody said she feels heartbroken and has many unanswered questions.
That’s according to a statement provided to paNOW on Thursday by the Lakefield Law group, on behalf of Sandy Pitzel; and comes ahead of next week’s scheduled coroner’s inquest at the Coronet Hotel in Prince Albert.
Pitzel’s son Jordan Norfield died at Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert on Dec. 5, 2020. Just three days prior, he had been transferred there by ambulance from the custody of the city’s police service.
Norfield had actually been arrested on Dec. 1. and according to a media release at the time from police, was apprehended on a detention order under the Public Health Act. Among the questions raised by the family, is how Jordan went from being physically healthy on Nov. 30, 2020 to dying five days later.
