Police Chief Elaborates On Death of Woman At The Regional Hospital

The question of how 22-year-old Serena Perry died at the Regional Hospital is still left unanswered. 

Police chief Bill Reid saying the case is unusual, as anything they suspect could never be validated by forensic pathology which puts them at a disadvantage when trying to find the cause. 

Reid concedes it's disconcerting to think if the person they identified as a suspect did cause her death, it can't be proved. He says it would be a prosecutor's nightmare while a defense lawyer would be overjoyed because there would be a huge hole in the issue.

Reid tells CHSJ News he's written a letter to the chief coroner asking for an inquest into Perry's death because they need to find out what took place, ask questions about procedures and policies and come up with recommendations.
