Military dismisses reports that Ontario nursing home residents died of dehydration

In the absence of death investigations and autopsies elsewhere in Canada, home operators are not going to admit that people under their stewardship died of dehydration, said Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Health Policy Research, NIA.

“This is where these technicalities sadly allow everybody to save face and these issues continue to fester,” Dr. Sinha said in an interview. “We know that a number of basic needs were not being well met. That’s the real tragedy of all of this.”
