WINNIPEG --
Manitoba RCMP officers have completed their review into the death of a woman who died while living with Brandon’s city manager and determined Brandon police conducted an appropriate investigation.
The review involved the death of Christine Mitchell, who died in July 2019. According to the Brandon Police Service, Mitchell died in hospital of a suspected drug overdose.
At the time of her death, she was living with Rod Sage, Brandon’s city manager and a non-voting member of the Brandon Police Board. CTV News Winnipeg previously reported that Sage retired.
In October 2019, the minister of justice asked the RCMP to investigate the circumstances around Mitchell’s death.
