The inquest is where Jeremy first watched security video from Oct. 5, 2019 — the night of John Ettawakapow’s arrest — which shows his father dragged into the cell by two RCMP officers and left on the floor with two other inmates, just after 7 p.m.

The video shows about an hour later, another inmate later rolled over and accidentally placed his leg on his father’s neck, where it remained for 40 minutes.

John Ettawakapow struggled to remove it himself, the video shows, but no one entered the cell until hours later.

RCMP policy says a person in custody must be physically checked on every 15 minutes — which several RCMP officers admitted at the inquest they didn’t know.

While the federal government doesn’t have the authority to make RCMP policy changes, (Brenna Dixon, counsel for the federal Department of Justice) said her department’s “ears are open” to what the judge ultimately recommends.
