After three hours of deliberation, the jury at a coroner’s inquest in Regina came to the conclusion Haven Dubois died by drowning, and that the manner of his death is "undetermined."

The jury's findings differs from the determination made by police and the coroner at the time, who ruled Haven's death as an accidental drowning.

The inquest into Haven Dubois' May 20, 2015 death came to a close Wednesday evening after three days of witness and expert testimony.

Haven’s family said they were relieved with the conclusion after an emotional few days.

Earlier in the day, one of the lead investigators in the Dubois case was the sole witness called to testify.

Sgt. Marie Rupcich of the Regina Police Service (RPS) recalled the timeline of events the day Dubois died, as well as various parts of the investigation.

Rupcich said Richelle Dubois did not have her statement taken until January of 2016, despite being the person who discovered Haven’s body, as well as being his mother.
