The CBC article had a little blurb about memory cards. They might be able to get data off of it.

In tests, they've been dunked in coffee and Gatorade, put through a washing machine, frozen in a block of ice, boiled, run over by a skateboard and smothered in peanut butter — with no effect on the data. At the extreme end, files on several camera cards that were smashed with a sledgehammer or nailed to a tree were still recoverable. Compact flash cards have endured the explosive demolition of a Missouri bridge and even the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11. So, with Orders in custody, it's a waiting game to see when the card he is alleged to have swallowed might turn up.
