Sgt. Sébastien Plouffe threw part of the 14-year-old motorcycle accident victim’s skull into a ravine in 2021 after being chastised by the victim’s mother for the way law enforcement handled the scene of the accident.

Plouffe, who lied about his actions on a report, admitted the truth a few days later when the family attempted to retrieve the skull part in order to cremate the victim. He returned to the location of the ravine and attempted to search for the missing piece of bone, but was unsuccessful. A larger search was conducted at the scene with additional officials, and the skull part was eventually located.
