Details of Squamish lawyer's death revealed
Five years after his death, the public is hearing the details of the death of Squamish lawyer Bob McIntosh who was killed at a teen party nearly five years ago.
On New Year's Eve, 1997, McIntosh went to check on a party at his friend Richard Cudmore's house in Squamish. He was found dead a short time later.
A taped confession by the 25yearold man who pled guilty to manslaughter in McIntosh's death was played at his sentencing hearing on Thursday.
Ryan Aldridge told a police interviewer that a friend punched McIntosh in the face, and he fell to the ground. Aldridge says he then kicked the unconscious lawyer in the head a number of times.
A pathologist has determined those four or five kicks killed McIntosh.

It's also been revealed how police investigated the killing, trying to break a community code of silence that surrounded the case.
Two undercover police officers slowly befriended Aldridge and eventually taped his confession in an airport hotel room.
A second man has also been charged in connection with McIntosh's death. Ryan MacMillan will be in court on Friday to face an assault charge.
McIntosh left behind a wife and twin babies.
Squamish residents have remembered the popular lawyer by naming a bike trail and a triathlon after him.
