Robert Pickton, the convicted B.C. serial killer responsible for the deaths of at least six women, was violently attacked by a fellow inmate in a Quebec prison on May 19.
He was rushed to the hospital and placed in a medically induced coma before passing away.
The Correctional Service of Canada confirmed his death, expressing condolences to the victims’ families.
Pickton’s crimes, which involved luring women to his pig farm, had a devastating impact on communities, particularly Indigenous peoples.
The circumstances of his assault raise concerns about prison safety, prompting an ongoing investigation.
