A two-day fatality inquiry into the suicide death of Billy Joe Crowshoe, 32, at the Drumheller Institution has resulted in no recommendations. Crowshoe hanged himself on Sept. 21, 2010, in his prison cell while serving his sentence. He made a noose out of his bed sheet, attaching the sheet to the wall 10 feet above the ground. Presiding over the inquiry was Provincial Court Judge Michael C. Dinkel.
