Five years after Kendal Campeau’s tragic death in custody from methadone toxicity, B.C.’s Coroner’s Service is finally holding an inquest — a long-awaited probe into the abuse, neglect, and systemic failures that may have led to his fatal overdose. His family alleges guards assaulted him and even handed him a razor blade to end his life, while reports show his mental health collapsed behind bars — including a prior overdose that same day. Advocates, including the B.C. First Nations Justice Council, pushed for this investigation, demanding accountability and reforms to prevent future deaths. The inquest begins September 28 at Burnaby Coroners’ Court, with live streaming available — offering a rare chance to uncover the truth and demand change before another life is lost.
