He said that it is important that people know that his brother was more than just one addictive who died in jail.

“I want to continue the name of Curtis because he belonged to someone. He could have been better. Just as people say, maybe he is in a better place because he is no longer suffering. But it’s not what I believe,” he told CBC News that when interrogated in April.

“Nothing is not going to bring him back, but I think we are worthy to answer. The whole family is going to be a part of the zoom. And we are going to bring pictures and we are just going to fight. Curtis was a good boy. He was a big heart. He was a big heart. He was like a big teddy beer.”

The inquiry will investigate the circumstances around the deaths of the men and the jury may again make recommendations with the aim of preventing further deaths.

The main goal of inquiry is to publicly investigate the circumstances around the deaths. The jury has been tasked with identifying potential security issues and may make recommendations to prevent similar deaths.
