Important lessons learned from Skinner inquest
Reliving the moments before and immediately following Christopher Skinner’s death recounted during a nine-day coroner’s inquest was a painful process for members of the Flamborough teen’s family – one they hope wasn’t in vain.
Inquest recommendations target underage drinking
Any parent who permits underage drinking of alcohol in their home, except if it is done by their own children with their permission, will be subject to a charge under the Liquor Licence Act, if the key recommendation of a coroner’s jury looking into the death of Flamborough teen Chris Skinner is implemented.

Dead teen's father wants alcohol less accessible
The father of a teenaged Mountsberg area youth, who died of alcohol poisoning on June 6, 2010, believes that two circumstances led to his son’s death. Easy accessibility to alcohol and ease in finding a place to go to drink it ultimately caused the tragedy said Brian Skinner during testimony Thursday afternoon at a coroner’s inquest into the death of 17-year-old Christopher Skinner.
