Tyendinaga police ask Ontario Coroner to reopen case of Tyler Maracle – APTN News

At the request of the family, the Tyendinaga police have sent a request to Ontario’s coroner to reopen the cases of Tyler Maracle, 21.

“My son went fishing with a friend five years ago, he never returned and there is a lot of unanswered questions that were never investigated,” says mother Tammy Maracle who is currently staging a sit in at the Tyendinaga police station demanding action.

The bodies of Tyler Maracle and his friend Matthew Fairman, 26, were found in Lake Ontario in 2015 two weeks after they went out on the Bay of Quinte to fish.

The cause of death was listed as drowning.
