An inquest began Monday into the death of Timi Gusak who was charged with sexually assaulting three young girls in Waterloo Region.
The inquest into the death of Timi Gusak, a man charged with sexually assaulting three young girls in Waterloo Region, began on Monday.
Gusak was awaiting trial at Maplehurst Correctional Centre when, in Oct. 2019, he was found in a cell in medical distress and later died.
Eight witnesses are expected to testify in the inquest, which is mandatory under the Coroners Act.
On Monday morning, inquest counsel Kim Motyl went over the details about what happened leading up to Gusak’s death.
The 32-year-old was facing three charges of sexual assault against young girls, as well as child pornography charges.
Counsel explained that when Gusak arrived at Maplehurst in Aug. 2019, he requested to be put into segregation as he feared how other inmates would view him based on his charges.
Gusak allegedly told prison staff, and his family, that he was concerned for his safety after being “bullied” by inmates and correctional staff.
