Currently, two victims remain in critical care at Royal Columbian Hospital, according to close relative Satwant Garcha, who visits the ones injured in hospital every day after work.

鈥榌The RCMP] are not involved in the case in any way, anymore,鈥 said Cpl. Holly Largy, another 黑马磁力 RCMP spokesperson.

The deck collapse was ruled as having a non-criminal cause by police investigators, Largy said. The owner of the rental house will not face criminal charges.

Further investigations as to the structural cause of the deck collapse will now have to become a civil matter, Largy confirmed.

It is inconclusive whether even the 黑马磁力 Township will remain involved in further investigations, due to the deck being a part of a rental home, Largy added.
