Inquest set into death of man in Prince Albert police cell 

A public inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding the death of 33-year-old Saul Laliberte in a Prince Albert Police Service cell nearly five years ago. 

An inquest will be held Oct. 26 to 30 at the Coronet Hotel. 

Laliberte was being held in cells on Nov. 7, 2021, when he was found unresponsive. Emergency medical services were called. Despite life-saving efforts by paramedics, Laliberte was pronounced dead after being taken to Victoria Hospital. 

A member of the Prince Albert Police Service was charged with failing to provide the necessities of life, but the charge was stayed.
