A coroner says a Inuit health centre should review its security measures in light of the deaths of two patients who were struck and killed within a 24-hour span in 2022.
RELATED - The City of Dorval has implemented new road safety measures in light of two deaths that occurred just over one year ago. Last August, two Inuuk women who were staying at the Ullivik health centre, were struck and killed in two separate incidents on Montreal highways in a span of 24 hours. Officials say they hope the new measures announced will make the area safer for Inuit pedestrians and hopefully prevent any more deaths. Global's Felicia Parrillo reports.
Coroner Éric Lépine examined the death of one of the two women — Mary-Jane Tulugak, 22 — and issued a series of recommendations in his report released Thursday.Tulugak was in a wheelchair after surgery, and on Aug. 19, 2022, was barred entry to Ullivik’s living quarters by security because she returned to the centre from a nearby bar and was drunk.
Tulugak was struck and killed about 380 metres away on Highway 520, and Niviaxie died less than 24 hours later after she was hit on nearby Highway 20.A ‘living hell’: More disturbing allegations made as QMJHL hazing lawsuit filedRead
