Boden Umpherville: Cardiac Arrest After Police Encounter | Edmonton News
Description
A tragic police encounter in Prince Albert ended the life of 40-year-old Boden Umpherville, whose cardiac arrest—caused by drug use and a blocked airway—occurred while he was restrained by officers during a traffic stop. Dashcam footage shows him repeatedly begging for help as he struggled to breathe, yet his distress went unnoticed for minutes. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he was declared brain dead. His friend Chase Sinclair, who reviewed the footage, insists Umpherville would still be alive if officers had released him sooner. The inquest, still ongoing, is calling for urgent reforms in police training and use-of-force protocols to prevent future deaths.
