A grieving family wants answers after 50-year-old Danny Robinson died following a confrontation with staff at the Edmonton Remand Centre (ERC). Robinson's family said he was pulled over by Edmonton police on Aug. 23, and taken into custody for unpaid traffic fines. In a statement, Edmonton police said "a male detainee became involved in a confrontation with ERC staff" on Aug. 24. The internal review will include examining "specific information relative to the sequence of events and the tactics or procedures undertaken by correctional peace officers," he said. Following the internal review, a fatality inquiry will be held under the Fatality Inquiries Act, Laville said.
