Developments: 2. An inquest was scheduled by the BC Coroners Service to investigate the 2016 death of Patricia Ann Wilson, who was found unresponsive in White Rock RCMP cells. The inquiry, presided over by coroner Kimberly Isbister, aimed to determine the facts surrounding her death and address the circumstances involving civilian jail guards and RCMP members. Following the proceedings, a jury issued eight recommendations focused on improving the care of vulnerable prisoners within the RCMP E Division. The non-fault-finding inquiry emphasized the need for better identification and management of high-risk individuals. Five of these recommendations are specifically directed at RCMP E Division. The jury suggested making certain information mandatory in prisoner reports, such as required medications, known or suspected substance dependence, and potential withdrawal risks. They also recommended improving methods to identify and categorize vulnerable prisoners who may require enhanced monitoring, clinical assessment, or alternative placement based on medical vulnerability or changes in physical and cognitive presentation. Further recommendations involve improving prisoner logs to accurately record food and fluid intake, medications, and physical checks. The jury also suggested implementing a documented shift-handover process to ensure the effective communication of medical concerns and care instructions. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: BC RCMP inquest issues recommendations for vulnerable prisoner care A BC Coroners Service inquest into the 2016 death of Patricia Ann Wilson has issued eight recommendations for the RCMP to improve the care and monitoring of vulnerable prisoners in custody. 24 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brianna-mongta-missing-after-disappearance-in-wollongong ### 2026-09-02: White Rock RCMP death inquest rescheduled for September A coroner's inquest into the 2016 death of Patricia Ann Wilson in White Rock RCMP custody is scheduled to begin September 15 in Burnaby.
