While a coroner’s jury can’t place blame, its job is to provide recommendations to prevent deaths in similar circumstances. The jury suggested the Vancouver Police Department recognize rumours and gossip as an example of unprofessional behaviour in its respectful workplace policy, and ensure all officers attend mandatory, rigorous in-person training on that policy.
The jury also asks the minister of health to consider integrating a database containing medical records of patients who have suicidal ideations across all health authorities.
