He died less than a week later in the hospital.
The RCMP says it is releasing Morningchild’s name to the public in the hope that somebody who knows what happened to him will come forward.
Anyone with information about the assault can report it to the Saskatchewan RCMP at 310-RCMP or to their local police service. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
Meanwhile, Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes and General Investigation Sections are continuing to investigate the circumstances of Morningchild’s death. The Saskatchewan Coroners Service is also working on the investigation.
