This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) alleged that the $7.8-million scheme was ongoing for 12 years, with hundreds of victims in Alberta, B.C., the U.S. and Australia.

Iannella said that by the time he arrived, one of the witnesses had already pulled the man out of the water and Okanagan Falls firefighters were performing CPR.

Alberta Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson Michelle Davio said the prosecutor in the fraud case is still waiting to see a death certificate, so a stay has yet to be issued.

“As with all files, the ACPS assesses on an ongoing basis whether there is a reasonable likelihood of conviction and if the matter is in the public interest,” Davio said.

An EPS spokesperson said the investigator in the case is aware that Quigley has been reported deceased, and is awaiting more details on how the Crown will proceed.

Quigley previously lived in Kelowna, but EPS started investigating him because the alleged scheme led investors to believe their funds would go toward purchasing homes in and around Edmonton, and profits would come from real-estate flips.
