Police in Saskatoon say they’re still not sure what caused the death of a Mistawasis teenager who died suddenly while in a detention cell.
An autopsy on Brandon Daniels was performed earlier this week.
He disappeared while visiting family in Saskatoon last Friday afternoon.
His mother has said he didn’t have his medication on him and may have appeared drunk or stoned.
Daniels was apparently picked up after getting sick outside a movie theatre early Friday evening.
The next morning, the family was notified that he had died after being taken into custody.
The police are now waiting for the results of a toxicology report, which they say could take four months to complete.
