David Milgaard, the victim of one of Canada’s most notorious miscarriages of justice, has died. 

He was 69.

James Lockyer, a Toronto-based lawyer who worked closely on the case and helped found the organization Innocence Canada, confirmed the death after speaking with Milgaard’s sister on Sunday.

Lockyer says Milgaard’s death is devastating for the family.

Milgaard was only 16 when he was charged in the murder of Saskatoon nursing aide Gail Miller.
