Who Was Trevor Dubois? Death After Hospital Security Altercation Shakes Saskatoon
Good evening and tonight we’re learning more about a tragic and deeply troubling case out of Saskatoon, one that’s now raising serious questions about safety, accountability and care inside hospitals.
The man at the centre of this story has been identified as Trevor Dubois. Family and friends have confirmed that he died after an altercation with security at Royal University Hospital, one of Saskatchewan’s largest medical facilities.
Trevor Dubois was 36 years old. He was an Indigenous social worker, someone described by those who knew him as compassionate, driven and deeply committed to helping others. He was also battling cancer. He had been admitted to the hospital for treatment and according to his family, he was determined to fight the disease and move forward with his life.
What happened next has left a family grieving and a community demanding answers.

Health officials say hospital staff called security after concerns were raised about a patient’s behavior. When security officers arrived, a physical struggle broke out. During that encounter, Trevor Dubois became unresponsive. Medical staff rushed in to help, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Police and the provincial coroner are now investigating to determine exactly what happened and whether the death is considered suspicious. So far, authorities have released very few details and that silence is only adding to the pain and frustration felt by many.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority says it has classified the incident as critical, triggering formal reviews and reporting processes. It has also reached out to the Saskatoon Tribal Council to help support the family during this time.
For Dubois’s loved ones, the loss feels impossible to comprehend. They say he was not violent, that he had been in good spirits just a day before his death and that what happened should never have escalated the way it did. They’re now calling for justice and for meaningful change, so no other family has to endure something like this.
This case is also drawing attention to broader concerns. Opposition leaders and healthcare advocates point to rising tensions in hospitals, staffing shortages, burnout and repeated security incidents across the province. They warn that patients and healthcare workers alike are being put at risk when systems are stretched to the breaking point.
As investigations continue, many are watching closely, not just for answers about one tragic death, but for what it may reveal about how vulnerable patients are treated in moments of crisis.
For now, a family mourns Trevor Dubois, a man remembered for his kindness, his laughter and his desire to make life better for others. And Saskatchewan waits for clarity, accountability and change.
