(CP) — The internal hemorrhage that killed David Tremblay was caused by two or three blows to the abdomen, a consulting pathologist testified Thursday at an inquest into the boy's death. Dr. Margaret Norman’s testimony supported the original autopsy report done by Dr. Robert Clarke for the B.C. Comer’s Service in 1981. Clarke found — and reiterated on the stand Wednesday — that the boy’s death was caused by "trauma” — physical injury. However, Clarke’s autopsy did not identify the injuries to the boy’s abdomen Norman claimed to have discovered when she reviewed Clarke’s work more than a year later. “The commonest cause of this type of bleeding, into the abdomen.” Norman, a Children’s Hospital pathologist hired by the coroner’s service, said the abdominal bleeding was only one factor in her conclusion. ‘‘This is a child who has had multiple repeated injuries,” she tes- tified. ‘‘The pattern in place of the injuries is also typical of non-path-ological injuries.” Tremblay’s wrist and and a small bone in his hand had both been broken in the months before he died. ‘‘You are the only one who has come out and said this child has been a victim of non-acciden-tal injury,” Ray Choui-nard, Michael Scott White’s lawyer, told Norman during the inquest. White and his wife, .Liv Bandiera, David’s mother, were charged with murder 10 months after David died April 16, 1981. Those charges were stayed by the Crown for lack of evidence last August. Clarke’s testimony was sharply criticized by another consulting pathologist, Dr. Walter Fischer, who said Thursday no one will ever know what killed the three-year-old Cortes Island child. Fischer, a forensic pathologist from California, agreed with other physicians who testified that Tremblay’s individual injuries could all have had non-violent causes. Fischer called the case highly unusual and said it was impossible to diagnose the cause of death at this time. Norman said it was not that unusual and that she could make a conclusion.

COQUITLAM, B.C. (CP) — Autopsies have confirmed that some of the six people slain early Tuesday in a home in this Vancouver suburb were bludgeoned, apparently after they had been shot. Coroner Diane Messier said Thursday post-mortem examinations were conducted on the six members of the Blackman family following X-rays which revealed the presence of metal fragments. ‘‘The pathologist’s reports indicate that each deceased suffered traumatic injuries from gunshot wounds,” Messier said in a statement. ‘‘Other injuries from a blunt instrument were also identified.” ‘‘No time of death of any of the deceased has yet been established nor Bleeding man held Prince George RCMP have a man in custody following a break-in at B&B Music on George in what order their deaths occurred.” Messier refused to say if all the victims were bludgeoned. She refused to answer any questions, saying the matter is before the courts. She said time of death would not be known until “much later.” Killed in the pre-dawn slayings were Richard Blackman, 50, his wife Irene, 49, son Rick, 16, daughters Roberta Lynn Davies, 28, and Karen Dale Rhodes, 25, and son-in-law J.mn Davies, 39. Bruce Blackman, 22, the couple’s son, was charged with six counts of first-degree murder shortly after the blood-spattered bodies were found in various locations in the family’s home. Blackman is currently undergoing a 30-day psychiatric assessment and is due back in court Feb. 16. The autopsies were conducted by Dr. Edwin Fhiau, pathologist at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.
