A day after the BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) announced that the Vancouver Police officers involved in the 2015 arrest – and eventual death – of Myles Gray will not face charges in connection with the incident, the BC Coroners Service said on Thursday that its investigation into the cause of Gray’s death is still “ongoing.”
In a statement, Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe said the incident was a “tragic loss of a member of our community.”
She added that while an Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia investigation is ongoing or the BCPS is considering charges, the BC Coroners Service’s investigation cannot be concluded.
