The inquest jury heard from correctional officers who responded to Randall Nicotine\u0027s cell on May 14, 2019. Nicotine was found unresponsive.
A now-retired correctional officer who found a 33-year-old man with a ligature around his neck in his cell at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre says it took about a second for what he saw to register because it was so “shocking.”
Blain said he asked for a 911 tool, which is used to cut through ligatures, and other officers responded. They entered the cell with Blain, who cut the torn-bedsheet ligature from which Nicotine was suspended from the ceiling. Staff began chest compressions on Nicotine when he was on the floor. They continued until EMTs arrived to take over life-saving measures.
He also suggested emergency situation training should take place every six months to ensure staff are trained to the point their response becomes a “reflex.”Article content Bamberger recalled hoisting Nicotine up to relieve the pressure of the ligature. He said a 911 tool is stored in an emergency safe with other equipment.
