Police weren't forthcoming about details of Desjarlais' death, Morenstein said, and she believes that her death was not adequately investigated. Inquest can't assign blameThe independent inquest into her death will be held May 7 in Burnaby, B.C. It will look into the circumstances surrounding Desjarlais' death and come up with recommendations that could prevent similar deaths.
