TORONTO — One of the two men suspected of a stabbing rampage in Canada that killed at least 10 people and injured 18 in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan was found dead Monday, police said, as the country reeled from one of its deadliest cases of mass violence. the attack began Sunday morning with reports of several stabbings at the James Smith Cree Nation, an Indigenous community roughly 200 miles north of Regina, the provincial capital. By the end of the day, police said they were investigating at least 13 crime scenes.

On Monday afternoon, authorities confirmed that the body of Damien Sanderson, 31, had been found that morning during a search of the James Smith Cree Nation. The second suspect, his brother Myles Sanderson, remained at large more than 24 hours after the authorities first received reports of people being stabbed at the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon, tightknit communities where some residents said the attacks had spurred them to lock their doors for the first time.

It was not clear who may have fatally injured Damien Sanderson, police said, but the wounds did not appear to be self-inflicted. A coroner’s office will determine the cause of death, Rhonda Blackmore, assistant commissioner of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), said at a Monday afternoon news conference. She said she did not know whether Myles Sanderson had contributed to his brother’s death.

Myles Sanderson, 30, whom police described as armed and dangerous Monday, may be in Regina, according to that city’s police chief, Evan Bray. At a news conference Monday afternoon, Bray and Blackmore said they have reason to believe he is injured and may seek medical help.

Myles Sanderson was charged earlier Monday with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Damien Sanderson was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Both were charged with breaking and entering, and the RCMP said more charges are likely.

Police are investigating the reasons they may have attacked 28 people in the prairie province. The Saskatchewan Health Authority said Monday it admitted 17 patients Sunday who were injured in the attacks. Four had been discharged and 13 remained in the hospital, including four in critical condition. It said none of its staff had been injured in the attacks. The investigation began about 5:40 a.m. local time Sunday, when police received reports of people being stabbed at the James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon. Authorities then sent a dangerous-persons alert at about 7:12 a.m., urging people in the area to seek shelter and warning that the two men were “armed and dangerous.” The alert was later expanded to the provinces of Manitoba and Alberta.

Authorities were looking for a black Nissan Rogue crossover SUV that Myles Sanderson may have driven to Regina shortly before midday Sunday. They later said that he may have changed their vehicle, and that their direction of travel was unknown.

Police have alerted the Canadian Border Services Agency of Myles Sanderson’s status.

“He does have an extensive and lengthy criminal record,” Blackmore said. In May, Myles Sanderson was listed as “unlawfully at large” by Saskatchewan CrimeStoppers, a community initiative designed to enlist public help to solve crimes and missing person cases. It said his last known location was in Saskatoon and did not detail why he was wanted.

According to the Canadian Broadcast Corp., police in Saskatoon said Myles Sanderson had served a nearly five-year prison sentence for assault, robbery and mischief. He was given a statutory release, then disappeared in May. Authorities have searched for him since.

Multiple sources close to the ongoing manhunt for Myles Sanderson, the second suspect in the stabbing rampage that killed 11 people in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan on Sunday, say he made a final trip to the city of Regina with the intention of seeing friends and family members there in the hours after the horrific attacks.

According to one of the sources source involved in the investigation into the horrific slayings in James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby town of Weldon, Saskatchewan, Myles Sanderson made a three-hour trip across the wide-open Canadian prairie—in broad daylight, on one of the busiest highway travel days of the year—“to see [those Regina connections] for the last time.” The sources told The Daily Beast that they suspect Myles has since died by suicide. “If Myles Sanderson was alive and being harbored somewhere by someone, we’d know about it by now,” one of the sources told The Daily Beast.

His sighting in Regina was reported three days ago, at around 11:45 a.m. Sunday, or approximately six hours after the first 911 calls began pouring into local law enforcement dispatchers near James Smith Cree Nation. The city is approximately 160 miles south of the communities now mourning the victims of the knifing rampage. Sources say Myles Sanderson was spotted in the front seat of a black Nissan Rogue. No further sightings of Sanderson or the vehicle have been reported in the hours and days since.

Whether Myles reached any of his intended stops in Regina remains unclear. The odds that Sanderson is still in or around the city are slim to none, the sources said.

His alleged accomplice and brother, 31-year-old Damien Sanderson, was found dead in a field on Monday while police were investigating a nearby house.

The shocking stabbing rampage left at least 15 others injured. Some of the attacks appeared to have been targeted while others seemed to be random, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in the hours after the stabbings.

The brothers have since been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in absentia, in addition to charges of attempted murder and breaking and entering.

Earlier reports suggested that Damien Sanderson—whose body was found with “visible injuries” that “are not believed to be self-inflicted,” according to the RCMP—may have been attacked by Myles Sanderson. “It is an investigative avenue that we are following up on, but we can’t say that definitively at this point,” RCMP spokeswoman Rhonda Blackmore said on Monday. Myles Sanderson reportedly had a lengthy criminal history, including robbery and assault convictions, and had been wanted by police at the time of the attacks for breaching parole.

All 10 victims have been identified. Myles is still on the run, but according to The Daily Beast article I added above, some sources have stated they believe he may have killed Damien as well as himself, but the authorities haven't confirmed anything.

Myles was found and arrested, went into "medical distress" then died. Police still aren't sure if he was involved in his brother's death.

The coroner has confirmed Myles died from a drug overdose. Damien's cause of death has yet to be confirmed, but I think it's evident now that Myles killed him. Especially considering the community mourning Damien alongside the victims, and the survivors who have stated that it was just Myles who attacked them. Some have even said that Damien was trying to stop him.

Probably one of the worst stabbing sprees in world history.
