A Red Deer man accused of manslaughter has had his charge stayed by the Crown prosecutor.
A three-week jury trial was scheduled to begin Nov. 16 for Gabriel Juma We Agotic, who was charged in July 2018, more than a year after the death of Mathiang Chol, 26.
Red Deer RCMP were called to a city apartment in March 2017 after getting a report that Chol was in medical distress.
Police said Chol was taken to hospital with serious injuries. From Red Deer, he was flown to a Calgary hospital and placed on life-support.
Chol was taken off life-support and died in hospital on March 30.
Crown prosecutors have a year to revisit the case, but that rarely happens.
