Update: Woman charged with manslaughter in death of her father

THUNDER BAY — The death of an elderly man in Thunder Bay in June has now resulted in the arrest of his daughter on a charge of manslaughter.

Police announced Wednesday that 63-year-old Mandy Kazoun appeared in bail court and was remanded into custody with a future appearance date.

They did not release the victim's identity, saying only that he and the accused were known to one another.

But according to a published obituary, 90-year-old Bernie Knibbs died unexpectedly at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre on June 13.

Kazoun was listed among his survivors.

The case dates back to May 20 when Superior North EMS paramedics were dispatched to a residential address on the south side following reports that an elderly man had fallen.

He was taken to hospital for treatment, but was pronounced deceased a few weeks later, on June 13.

According to police, a post-mortem conducted in Toronto determined that he died from complications related to the injuries sustained in the incident in May.

Members of the major crimes unit then became involved in the investigation.

Although it was originally reported that the man had fallen down some stairs, detectives learned of allegations that he had been pushed.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
