had gone to the studio because he believed the station was broadcasting messages in his head. Smith was the first broadcast personality that he saw and recognized coming out of the building. Following the shooting, police recovered a list of other Ottawa media personalities in Arenburg's apartment, and an official at the city's press club noted that he had previously ejected Arenburg from the club three times for loudly demanding to see various people on his list. Arenburg had also reportedly been turned away from the Parliament Buildings on several occasions. Arenburg was found not criminally responsible in Smith's death due to his mental condition. He was remanded to the Oak Ridge Division of Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene. Smith's murder led to renewed calls in Canada for strengthening of the government's gun control legislation. In 2001, the Ontario Review Board began to grant Arenburg 72-hour release. He applied for full conditional release in 2004. The Ontario Review Board granted Arenburg an absolute discharge from the Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene in November 2006.

According to officials, Arenburg attempted to enter the United States on a commercial bus as a passenger and was denied entry due to past criminal convictions. He was subsequently jailed for two years and was released on September 8, 2009. In a submission to the Ontario Review Board, a doctor said Arenburg had good insight into his illness but "would likely suffer from psychotic symptoms if he stops taking his medication."

Upon arriving in Ottawa he was staying in a shelter with C$15 to his name awaiting his Canada Pension Plan disability cheque. Death On June 26, 2017, it was reported that Arenburg had died in
