A guard at the Ottawa jail warned that Sargent was too ill to be accepted, but was overruled by her superiors. Sargent died the next day.
“I was told we were going to keep her,” Winter said under questioning by Kate Forget, co-counsel to presiding coroner Dr. Robert Reddoch.
Winter said she had known Sargent since she began working at the OCDC in 2012 and that Sargent was a “good soul” — a talkative, co-operative and well-liked inmate. When Sargent arrived at the jail at 3:49 p.m. that day, Winter could “immediately” tell Sargent was very ill. Winter said Sargent showed her surgical incision from her sternum to her belly button and was bleeding from the rectum.Article content
Sargent was eventually seen by a nurse at the jail and taken to hospital by corrections staff later that evening. But she was never seen by medical staff and was back at the jail barely an hour later. Sargent died in her cell shortly after midnight on July 20.
