Under such circumstances, it is mandatory for the medical examiner to call an inquest. Ahmo s son, sister and mother, in statements released Tuesday, demanded the investigation into his death be conducted by an independent body and not the RCMP, Winnipeg police or the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba.
