1. At home, a head of security for Vancouver’s airport says Robert Chikanski was alive until emergency responders
arrived on the scene. Chikanski was declared dead at airport in 2007 after four RCMP officers used the taser to
subdue him. At the inquiry into his death, the security’s supervisors testified that if Chikanski had been in distress,
he would have done something. The CBC’s Curt Petrovich is at the inquiry. Triffle Anchel Mayers says by the
time he got to the scene police were struggling with Robert Chikanski on the ground. The head of the airport
security says he pitched in to help restrain Chkansky without speaking to the RCMP.“I have seen a gentleman on
the ground with RCMP felling his legs around, banging him extremely hard into the ground and picking up so I
trapped his legs with my legs, and then held him with my hands.” A few seconds later Anchel Mayer got up
because Chikanski stopped moving. “I believe I heard RCMP members say that _he was___ advidory wasn’t
responding” Anchel Mayer said the next time he got involved was where he noticed one officer attempting to see
if Chikanski was still alive. “Because that is what made me his pulse, so I was trying to do?“ That check can be
seen on amateur video. But the bystander stopped recording didn’t capture what Anchel Mayer says where were
two more checks he made for Chikanski pulse and breathing breading about two minutes after the last one fire
fighters are arrived. They couldn’t detect any signed for his life. And Anchel Mayer testified that if he thought
Chikanski was in the distress he would have done something. The airport’s lawyer asked Anchel Mayer several
leading questions about having one award once for saving someone’s life like giving them CPR.
