The Coroner’s jury looking into the death of Houston resident Ian Bush has begun its deliberations.
The five person jury will determine how Ian Bush died in the Houston RCMP office on October 29th-2005, but cannot flay blame with anyone in the matter.
The jury can make recommendations with regard to steps that can be taken to prevent such tragic events from recurring.
The inquest had moved from the community hall last night to the Gymnasium of the high school.
That is the same school Ian Bush had attended.

How did Ian Bush die? He was shot in the head.
What happened in the interrogation room that resulted in a struggle between Bush and Koester? The surveillance equipment should have been turned on and we would know the answer to that question.
How could this have been prevented? If Koester had taken a chill pill and not overreacted to being lied to about Bush's name.
The sad truth about this whole matter, is that if Bush had not lied to Koester twice, he likely would never had been taken into custody and would still be alive. Everyone should remember that fact when dealing with the police. Although talking back to an officer should not be such a big deal, the truth is that there are some cops that will not accept disrespect even if they do not show respect to others. It may be hard to do if one is not entirely sober, but until cops are made more accountable for their actions, do not do ANYTHING to antagonize an officer.
