Nanaimo man killed by police had five bullets in his body, says pathologist

A forensic pathologist testified Thursday that he removed five bullets from the body of a Nanaimo man shot and killed by Oceanside RCMP in October 2017.

On the early morning of Oct. 12, 2017, a distressed Prince stabbed himself in the chest. At 5:38 a.m., his friend David Poole called 911 and started driving Prince to meet an ambulance on the inland Island Highway. Prince was shot three times in the back and twice in the chest, the pathologist testified. He was shot in the upper chest, mid-abdomen, upper left shoulder, right mid-section of the back and the mid-lower back. He also had a laceration on the back of his left scalp, a relatively minor wound consistent with a blow from a police baton, said Doyle.

It gets even more complex, said Shapiro, because cocaine affects the brain and can change it from its normal state Long-term cocaine use by people with underlying mental-health issues can set off violent behaviours, delusions, hallucinations and paranoia, he said.
