Kindersley RCMP launch investigation into Vernon teen’s death

VERNON – Police in Saskatchewan are investigating the suspicious death of a Vernon teen.

Dylan Cordell Hanna was found lying on the ground, unresponsive, outside his temporary work residence in Kindersley, Sask. around 6 a.m. Sept. 14. The 19-year-old was rushed to Kindersley Hospital where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
