James Bay OPP were conducting an investigation at Kendall Concession Road 7 and Concession Road 6 near Hearst. Bali was seriously injured and has since been pronounced deceased.
A press release says OPP have one individual in custody but have yet to announce charges.
Thunder Bay Police have charged a local 33-yr-old man with manslaughter in connection with the death of Kelsey Anderson.

It’s wrong when Doug Ford does it.
It’s wrong if Mark Carney does it.
This new consensus that the public doesn’t get to know how our leaders communicate anymore is wrong.
It’s wrong and it has to be stopped.
