More than a month after her younger brother died, Sarafina Dennie says she still has trouble eating or sleeping.

She says she struggles to understand how her brother Nicous D'Andre Spring—a quiet person who loved boxing, music and playing with her young children—died at Montreal’s Bordeaux jail after an altercation with jail guards on Christmas Eve, a day after he was supposed to be released to come home to his family.
