"We've had numerous witnesses come forward and it's been key and leading the investigators in finding Mr. Cropearedwolf," said Det. Jason Hillier with Toronto police homicide and missing persons unit.According to longtime friend Malcolm Morrison, Finlay, a cancer survivor, was hospitalized with broken ribs in the attack before being initially discharged. He was later readmitted after his condition deteriorated, Morrison said.
In a email to the Star, a representative for CBC said the broadcaster is “deeply saddened” at the loss of “an exceptional story-teller, documentary-maker and editor.” Every reporter Finlay worked with said their story was “made better because of Michael,” spokesperson Chuck Thompson said. “If you worked on a documentary with Michael, you were experiencing the pinnacle of the craft.”
