Coroners inquest into death of Nelson man scheduled for August

A coroner’s inquest into the death of Zachary Andrew Bryan With has been set for August 19, 2024, at the Nelson Law Courts.

The death of With, 28, was reported to the BC Coroners Service on February 16, 2019, following events involving the RCMP.

Coroners Inquest

A coroner’s inquest is a public inquiry that serves three primary functions:

* to determine the facts related to a death, including the identity of the deceased and how, when, where and by what means the individual came to their death, as well as a classification for the death;

* to make recommendations, where appropriate and supported by evidence, to prevent deaths in similar circumstances; and

* to ensure public confidence that the circumstances surrounding the death of an individual will not be overlooked, concealed or ignored.

Margaret Janzen, presiding coroner, and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding this death.

The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances. A jury must not make any finding of legal responsibility or express any conclusion of law.
