Starblanket’s body was found in a home on the 500 block of Fifth Street E. on March 20, 2021.

At the time, neighbours reported haring an explosion and some popping sounds followed by plumes of black smoke.

The explosion had blown the building off of its foundation and it then caught on fire.

Members with the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Team assisted with Ratt’s arrest and Prince Albert Police said the investigation is still ongoing.
