RCMP honour Mountie they say died responding to illegal border crossing call
REGINA — An annual RCMP service that honours fallen Mounties has this year paid tribute to an officer who the force says died while he was responding to a call about an illegal border crossing.
Const. Richer E.-S. Dubuc was added to the RCMP Cenotaph, Honour Roll Book and Memorial Wall at the RCMP Academy during a national memorial service in Regina on Sunday.
Dubuc, who was 42, died on March 6 from injuries after a crash between his RCMP vehicle and a farm tractor.
The married father of four was from Joliette, Que., and began his career with the Codiac Detachment in New Brunswick in November 2009.
