Vancouver airport denies any responsibility in Dziekanski's death


VANCOUVER, B.C. — Vancouver International Airport, where Robert Dziekanski spent the last 10 hours of his life lost, confused and unable to communicate with anyone before his fatal confrontation with RCMP, has denied any responsibility for his death in its defence of a lawsuit filed by the Polish immigrant's mother.
Dziekanski died on the floor of the airport's international arrivals area in the early morning of Oct. 14, 2007, after four RCMP officers stunned him with a Taser.
His mother is now suing the officers, the airport and the federal and provincial governments.
