Police in Quebec say convicted B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton is in a medically induced coma and on life support, four days after he was attacked by another inmate in prison.

Sources told Radio-Canada on Tuesday that Pickton, 74, was clinging to life following what Correctional Service Canada (CSC) confirmed was a "major assault" on Sunday at the maximum-security Port-Cartier Institution, about 450 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.
