The date has been set in regard to an inquest that will look closer at the 2017 deaths of a married couple following shootings at Northumberland Hills Hospital.
Seventy-year-old William Thomas Ryan, known as Tom, shot and killed his 76-year-old wife Gladys Helen Ryan while at the hospital.
Tom Ryan was subsequently shot and killed by police.
The inquest into the man’s death, which will begin September 18th, is mandatory under the Coroners Act and they will hear from 18 witnesses.
A 2018 report from the Special Investigations Unit cleared the officers of any wrongdoing and called the police shooting ‘justified.’
