## Resource

The man behind the 1992 Concordia University massacre, which killed four professors, has died at 86 in a Quebec prison. Valery Fabrikant, once a mechanical engineering professor facing dismissal and claiming colleagues stole his research, was sentenced to life in 1993. Despite 28 years behind bars and multiple parole denials — including a 2020 decision citing ongoing risk and refusal to acknowledge his victims’ innocence — he died of natural causes at Archambault Institution.
