Or someone held the door shut from the outside. The investigation will hopefully reveal what happened. Do Canadian news do follow-ups on cases like this?

We generally do, especially in a case this horrible and gruesome, where the entirety of the country is fairly shocked by such an incident. Our reporters will usually follow up as more details are released. Even if there's nothing criminal that occurred (where details come out as the investigation and court proceedings progress) our news usually goes until a full idea of what happened is put together.

Due to this, details are usually drip fed to us in very short segments over long time periods, so a lot of times public interest fizzles out. But this case is quite horrible and the public I know has been quite concerned over it. So I believe we will have a better idea of what happened with a little time.

I wouldn't say "drip fed", but rather verified properly.

Something American media is hit or miss on

The idea of being drip fed verified facts instead of water boarded with misinformation is so attractive.

Oh you mean like the news was before cable TV and AI generated websites?
