Inquest begins into the death at OCDC of Indigenous woman who had recent open heart surgery
Questioned by her lawyers from the Aboriginal Law Service, Shauna Sargent said the women in her family had endured intergenerational trauma and sexual abuse.
“She didn’t want to expose me to that life,” Shauna Sargent testified. “She was very good at being a good mom, or if she couldn’t be, then making sure I had good moms around me.” Although a discharge plan was in place that would see her live in a transitional home until a spot opened for her in a drug treatment centre, Sargent left the hospital on July 15 “with an unknown person” and disappeared for several days. She was arrested by Ottawa police on July 18 near Cumberland and George Streets, according to an agreed upon statement of facts read into the record by coroner counsel Mike Boyce.
