Title: Capital punishment list
Post by: l_bamboo on Thursday 15 August 13 00:56 BST (UK)

does anyone know of a list of people that were executed in Canada? I'm looking for douglas hugh finlayson that died in 1961 or 62 - he was in prison in Montreal when he died.

The person you're looking for doesn't appear to be on this list.  He might have been incarcerated and died of natural causes while in prison or as a result of an injury.

Thank you... I was hoping he wasn't there but had to rule it out anyway.
