The parents of a Quebec man who killed a provincial police sergeant last March had tried to get him forcibly hospitalized in the days leading up to the attack because of how seriously his mental health had deteriorated.
Those details came to light on Feb. 12 during the opening day of a coroner’s inquest into the deaths of Sgt. Maureen Breau and Isaac Brouillard Lessard, who was shot dead by police moments after he allegedly stabbed the officer with a kitchen knife.
