New: Ontario’s Office of the Chief Coroner, with the assistance of the Waterloo Regional Police Service, is undertaking a second investigation into the death of 17-year-old minor hockey player Benjamin Teague, who died during a “team building” event hosted by his Oakville Rangers team. The new investigation, confirmed by the coroner’s office, comes after the OPP found York Regional Police Service officers negligent in their original investigation into Benjamin’s death in 2019. A posthumous toxicology report concluded that Benjamin had the drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, in his system at the time of his death. When mixed with alcohol, the colourless, tasteless, odorless chemical can be lethal even in small doses, Dr. Lewis Nelson, the Director of Medical Toxicology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School told me in an interview.
