ABBOTSFORD (NEWS 1130) – A week after a judge handed a man three years in jail for crimes committed during the Stanley Cup riot in 2011, 30-year-old William Fisher has died in the hospital.
Fisher was found guilty on a series of charges including taking part in a riot, aggravated assault and break and enter and was also found guilty of assaulting a Good Samaritan during the riot.
He was an inmate at a prison in Abbotsford but died in a hospital in New Westminster. Corrections Canada is looking into his death.
