Victoria police Const. Douglas Hanbury testified Monday that he caught a glimpse of Daniel Jordan Levesque’s blue-purple lips on Aug. 3, 2011, then heard one of the other emergency personnel at the scene say Levesque appeared to be dead.

The 20-year-old Levesque had just been rolled over from his face-down position on a couch, located in the Cormorant Street condominium from which police had received a 911 call about a stabbing a few minutes earlier.
