The suspect in the stabbing deaths of a mother and child outside a school last week has died in hospital, police said Thursday.

The man was shot by Edmonton police last Friday after a 35-year-old woman and her 11-year-old child were stabbed outside Crawford Plains School in the southeastern part of the city.
