I had been asleep for maybe an hour on the evening of August 13th, 2024 when I received a knock at the door.
Two VPD constables were here on a “Next-of-Kin” visit at the request of a constable from the Edmonton Police Service.
One constable asked me if I had any idea as to why they were here. I said that it had to be a death in my family. I said that with my father deceased since 2017, my uncle deceased since 2010, that it had to be either my mother or my brother.
The same constable asked me what my brother’s name was and what his birthdate was. So I told him. He then said that he was sorry to inform me but my brother had been found badly decomposed in his apartment.
The constables left the contact information for the police constable in Edmonton that was looking after this case. I contacted her and she gave me information on how to contact the coroner to make arrangements for Scott’s body as the EPS hadn’t been able to find anyone else.
In talking with the caretaker it turns out that Scott had been receiving Ketamine Infusion Treatments at the University of Alberta for the major depression and anxiety that he had been suffering as a result of the events of both Canadian Forces Base Namao and growing up in Richard’s dysfunctional military household. The caretaker had mentioned that Scott had moved up from the infusion treatments at the UofA, to snorting Ketamine, to injecting Ketamine.
It wasn’t until a couple of weeks later that I remembered Scott had actually mentioned these treatments to me in some text messages.
And this was literally the last communications that I ever had with Scott:
After Richard died in 2017 I think Scott had received some inheritance from Richard’s estate. I can only assume this as I was never contacted or received anything from Richard’s estate. I can’t come up with any other answer as to how he amassed enough money to buy condominium.
According to Scott, by late 2023 he had sold the condo at a loss and was instead renting the condo as an apartment from the new owners.
I had placed his sim card into my phone as the second sim so that I could receive text messages and phone calls to his number.
Nobody called on his phone line.
The only people sending him text messages were Telus, Bell Canada, CIBC, VISA, Mastercard, Walmart, his hosting services, and his domain name providers looking to have overdue debts paid off.
I made every effort to send his creditors his “Certificate of Cremation” and a letter attesting that Scott had no will, no estate, and no way to investigate if he had assets as there was no executor appointed for his estate. And I was not going to blow $10k in court fees for the pleasure of becoming his executor.
As mentioned, Scott had become addicted to ketamine.
It appears that he started off down the road of ketamine as a result of his major depression and his severe anxiety.
I don’t think Scott put any serious thought into how the evets of Canadian Forces Base Namao had harmed him until 2020 when the Deaprtment of National Defence finally released the 1980 Court Martial transcripts along with the 1980 CFSIU investigation of Captain McRae.
When this became a media story in late 2020 Scott and I still hadn’t talked since Richard stuck his hand into Scott’s brain back in 2013 the day before I went into my federal court hearing.
But seeing the newspaper stories, and seeing that the whole affair from 1978 to 1980 was so much fucking larger than me “allowing” the babysitter to molest Scott, must have rattled Scott’s cage.
Seeing the truth come out, and not having Richard alive to put his spin all over it must have really done something to him.
The coroner would only state that Scott’s death was due to a ruputred spleen.
Since about age age 10 Scott had been suffering from Grand Mal seizures.
Then there’s the fact that there was a fresh needle found on his computer desk.
It appears that he stood up from his computer desk, stood up as if to go to the washroom or maybe the kitchen, and dropped right there.
Was he too caresless with his ketamine dosage?
Did he have a final Grand Mal Seizure.
Or did he decide that what he was going through just wasn’t worth it anymore and he decided to take that one final shot?
We’ll never know.
On October 3rd, 2013 just prior to me heading into Federal Court Scott started bombarding my Facebook pages with all sorts of allegations about what I let the babysitter do to him, or how I encouraged the babysitter to do things to him, and how I could have stopped the babysitter if I wanted to.
A quick check of Scott’s Facebook page showed that Richard had paid him a visit the night before, and this was after Scott refused to talk to Richard or Sue since 2008 when he refused to attend the funeral of the son of one of Sue’s friends that Scott used to hang around with when he was younger.
November 29th, 2013 is the last time I had any communications with Scott until late 2020 when the DND finally released the court martial transcripts and the 1980 CFSIU investigation paperwork.
These are the last communications that I ever had with Scott.
So yeah, to me it looks like Scott crashed into a wall.
Depression, anxiety, trauma from sexual abuse, trauma from living in a dysfunctional military family, suffering sexual abuse at the hands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces such as Captain Angus McRae and his agent, being lied to by the Canadian Armed Forces and members of the Canadian Armed Forces like our father Warrant Officer Richard Wayne Gill. Having your welbeing interferred with by other members of the Canadian Armed Forces like Captain Terry Totzke.
This was a lot for anyone to handle.
