An inquest is underway as officials review the death of a 21 year old Moose Jaw woman who died in a Regina Remand Unit in 2015.

Breanna Kannick was in custody after failing to appear in court on drug possession charges. According to Kannick's ex boyfriend, she was addicted to injecting hydromorphone and that she had been prescribed fentanyl by a doctor when she was 15 years old.

The jury will have evidence shown before them over the course of the week and will also be allowed to make recommendations to prevent similar deaths.
