CAA coroner’s inquest into the death of Tatyanna Harrison, a 20-year-old Indigenous woman, begins this week. Her remains were found in a marina in Richmond in 2022, nearly eight months after she went missing. The police do not classify her death as suspicious. Her family has criticized the initial coroner’s findings, which attributed her death to sepsis, and has called for an independent review. An independent pathologist, Dr. Matthew Orde, has challenged the official conclusion, suggesting the cause of death should be ruled undetermined. The case highlights ongoing concerns about the treatment of missing and deceased Indigenous individuals in Vancouver, particularly those connected to the Downtown Eastside. Two other Indigenous women—Noelle O’Soup and Chelsea Poorman—also died under mysterious circumstances, with their families demanding similar inquests.
