Coroners Inquest in St. Catharines, Ontario, investigates the 2021 death of Heather Winterstein, a 24-year-old Indigenous woman from the Cayuga Nation. Despite seeking help for severe pain and infection at the emergency room twice in two days, she collapsed and died from sepsis. The inquest, now in its thirteenth day, has heard testimony about systemic racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and overwhelmed services due to COVID shortages and understaffing. The jury is expected to deliberate soon, shedding light on what went wrong in the healthcare system.
