A patient at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital died after being injured in an incident, the Northern Health Authority confirms.
“We regret that this tragic situation occurred, and our sincere sympathy and thoughts continue to be with the family and caregivers,” said a statement issued by the Northern Health Authority, which provides health-care services across northern B.C. “As this matter was the subject of an RCMP investigation, may become the subject of litigation and due to privacy concerns with respect to individual patients, no further details can be provided.”Start your day with a roundup of B.C.
Prince Rupert RCMP Const. Brody Hemrich said that no charges had yet been laid and the police investigation into the Nov. 5, 2021, incident is continuing and there would be no further comment at this time. “I don’t know what happened after that. I don’t know if he’s in jail, if he’s in a psychiatric institution,” the source said of the other patient.
“This incident reiterates our call for increased security at health-care facilities around the province. BCNU believes hiring protective security officers with robust training to manage complex and violent incidents is a much-needed step towards making health-care settings safe.”Article content
