NAN renewing calls for information following third anniversary of Corey Belesky’s death

The Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) was joined by leaders from Marten Falls First Nation, as well as members of the late Corey Belesky’s family, on Monday to make a renewed appeal to the public for information surrounding the death.

Saturday marked three years since Belesky’s passing, and the family is still looking for answers.

On November 1, 2022, Belesky was found unresponsive just after 1:00 a.m. at a residence in Thunder Bay.

The Thunder Bay Police Service declared his death a homicide.

“Corey was a loving son, brother, uncle, stepdad and partner. He loved his family and loved animals,” explained his mother, Colleen Belesky.

“On November 1st, 2022, Corey, my son, my baby, was murdered. That day I also died. My life ended.”

“We, Corey’s family, are asking anyone with any information to please come forward. We, Corey’s family, are requesting that the Thunder Bay Police Services Board approve an award to help with Corey’s murder investigation. And we, Corey’s family, are requesting the Thunder Bay Police Service to put more officers without prejudices and more resources into my baby’s investigation.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Thunder Bay Police Service’s Criminal Investigations Branch at 807-684-1204.
