The final suspect in the stabbing rampage in and around a Canadian reserve is dead from self-inflicted injuries, an official has said. Myles Sanderson, 32, was found near the town of Rosthern as officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle being driven by a man armed with a knife, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said.
Officers forced Sanderson’s vehicle off the road and into a ditch, assistant commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, commander of the RCMP in Saskatchewan, said at a news conference. He was detained and a knife was found inside the vehicle, she said. She said Mr Sanderson went into medical distress after he was arrested. She said CPR was attempted on him before an ambulance arrived, and emergency medical personnel then took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“All life-saving measures that we are capable of were taken at that time,” she said. Ms Blackmore gave no details on the cause of death. “I can’t speak to the specific manner of death,” she said.
