Forensic pathology to be eliminated in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay’s acting police chief says the move will create further delays that will have significant adverse affects on their investigations

after the local hospital that performs them phases out its services in the coming months, according to Ontario’s Chief Coroner’s Office – a move that could hamper an already strained police force investigating potential homicides.

Acting Chief Taddeo said it’s an issue that should have been figured out long ago, since it was included in the list of recommendations in the 2018 Broken Trust report by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director that examined how the Thunder Bay Police Service handled death investigations of Indigenous people.

The Office of the Chief Coroner said that while there have been continuing conversations around a stand-alone unit, there is nothing concrete at this time. It also said that they have a strict turnaround time for performing autopsies and releasing bodies regardless of location in the province. “We’re well aware of the influence of drug traffickers from the Greater Toronto Area. We arrested 150 persons not from Thunder Bay last year alone for these events,” he said.
