Winnipeg woman's 2004 death not accident, son says




This article talks about a 87 year women who was found dead in her Winnipeg home in 2004.  After a little big the police determined her death a accident and that she fell down her stairs and hit head.  Her son Jessie Garwood believed it at first but then looked into it a little more.  He said to himself that there was only 8 stairs and that the damage done to her could not have happens falling down 8 stairs.  As a autopsy report saw bruising on the back, both hands, a broken arm, 4 broken ribs and 13 wounds to the head.  After years of doing his own research he finally decided to hire his on law firm.  They decided to take it back to court and prove that is was not an accident and more research had to be done to prove who did it.  The last person to ever see her was a girl by the name of Cathy Watson.  This is still a cold case.


I think it is really sad that the police made a very urgent call about the women who they declared fell down the stairs.  To me it doesn't take a genius to conclude you cannot have that much structural damage to your body from falling down 8 stairs.  It must have been very sad for the son and for him to realize this after the police have closed the case must have been hard.  I think that it is a great thing he realized this and the police were willing to open up there investigation again and disclose some information about what they found.
