Family of Regina overdose victim says death avoidable, calls for inquest
Turner said the Saskatchewan Coroner has reopened the investigation into Shayne’s death and on Nov. 6 said he would respond to the family within 60 days.
Hindley said he couldn’t provide details on the current availability of addictions treatment beds, but said, “We do need to add capacity.” Asked about addictions supports in Saskatchewan, and the idea of finding safe consumption sites in the province, Hindley referenced investments in drug testing strips and spectrometers and access to naloxone kits.
Turner added that as he was being discharged from hospital, Shayne was told by the addictions counsellor to seek assistance from social services.
