THUNDER BAY — The province will provide resources to allow some medicolegal autopsies to again take place in the city.

Earlier this year, hospital officials a lack of resources would force them to stop performing forensic autopsies. Those services stopped at the end of June. “It [is also] necessary for a [Thunder Bay Police] officer to accompany the body and that can add some real expense,” Mercer said. “As you heard from [Deputy Chief Ryan Hughes] to send officers who may have to spend days in Toronto, if I can say it bluntly, hanging around waiting for the autopsy to happen.

All complex autopsies, including homicide, criminally suspicious, Special Investigations Unit and pediatric cases will continue to go to the provincial pathology unit in Toronto.
