One can be sure, Police won't investigate too hard on this one. Karma has a way of evening things out sometimes.
Notorious gay basher kills himself in jail
Quebec provincial police are investigating the death of Jeffrey Lalonde, 36, who was serving a life sentence in a Quebec prison for his role in a murder that set off a firestorm of gay rights activism, and spurred the creation of the Ottawa Police Service's hate crime unit.
Lalonde, convicted of the 1989 murder of Chateau Laurier waiter Alain Brosseau, was found dead in his cell at the medium-security Leclerc Institution on Monday after an apparent suicide.
Lalonde pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for throwing Brosseau, 33, off the Alexandra Bridge after robbing and assaulting the man as he walked home from a late-night shift at the hotel.
Quebec Superior Court Judge Orville Frenette called the attack a "brutal, inhumane act" and handed the then 18-year-old Lalonde a life sentence.

Very nice picture of the Alexandria Bridge. The Chateau Laurier is actually off screen to the right. That's the National Gallery on the right and I believe the Lester B. Pearson building on the left under the bridge.
