I think the sentence mostly tells us that the husband was there at the time, that's all. People might wonder if there was a spouse, other family at home etc.

Well, that's what reporting is. You go there and report what you see. A man can react in any number of ways upon learning of his wife's death.

I believe the attending physician later describes George Costsnza's reaction to his fiancées death at the hand of cheap wedding envelopes as "restrained jubilation."

I think a main issue is that even with a web presence the Times Colonist still does not report on issues until days after they have occurred. Nothing like seeing something on the news, and then finally reading about two days later.
Predictive text and a tiny keyboard are not my friends!

It's no secret the media of this city skim off each other for stories. Of the main media in town you'll find CFAX leads, followed by CTV, followed by Chek, and finally followed by the TC. I find that Vic News/Black Press cover the bases very well even though their papers come around only twice a week.
Know it all.

CFAX leads with what?
They lead off their 5am news with everything they read in the TC. Then as the morning goes on, they find the time to get some of their own stories off the wire or from local press releases.

It has ever been thus; when I was living in Vancouver 20+ years ago it was very common to read a story in the Vancouver Sun in the BUSINESS or INTERNATIONAL sections especially, then come to Victoria to visit family a week (sometimes more) later only to read the same article in the T-C. It was kind of like living in a time warp, which of course is precisely how my Vancouver friends did and still do generally view the island....

I win the bet. Dennis is on the left according to a person that works with him at the airpoirt.

The TC is running CFAX radio ads, urging people to subscribe to the physical print edition of the TC, saying you might like "the feel of paper in your hands", getting the comics and inserts, and calling it the "original generation" and informing you that if you buy it, you also get the "next generation" online access too.
