Dr. Peter D. Pan, the same pathologist who analyzed Chanie Wenjack’s body, performs a post-mortem exam on Roderick and Bean. Both boys weighed 80 pounds and were under five feet tall. Beside the heading “Stomach and Contents,” both reports contain the same word: Empty.
Local coroner, Dr. S.M. Burris, issues a warrant for an inquest. “I have concluded that an inquest should be held to determine if there was negligence in these deaths.”
