Overview

• Families of Tatyanna Harrison, Chelsea Poorman, and 13-year-old Noelle O’Soup demand a coroner’s inquest into their 2022 deaths in British Columbia.
• Justice for Girls lawyer Sue Brown submitted the request to Public Safety Minister Garry Begg, citing concerns over forensic findings and investigative inaction.
• An independent forensic pathologist challenged the coroner’s ruling of sepsis as Harrison’s cause of death, recommending it be classified as undetermined.
• The RCMP investigations into the deaths remain stagnant, relying solely on the original coroner’s conclusions despite unresolved questions.
• The inquest request coincides with Red Dress Day, a national day of awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ individuals.
