Additional charges have been laid in the death of a 79-year-old resident in the care of an assisted living facility in Oshawa.
On April 1, 2023, members from East Division were called to an assisted living facility in relation to a death at Aspira Traditions of Durham Retirement located at 1255 Bloor Street East. A 79-year-old female resident was located on a bench outside the facility. Paramedics attended and brought the female to the hospital where she was pronounced deceased.
An investigation revealed the vulnerable female entered a stairwell and exited the building at approximately 7:30 p.m. on March 31, 2023. Over the course of the night, the female attempted to gain access to the building but was unable because the doors were locked. She sat on a bench and was located the following morning without vital signs.
An autopsy was performed and the cause of death of the 79-year-old was as a result of exposure to the elements.
Two employees of Aspira Traditions were charged in December, 2024. Another employee, as well as the business have since been charged.
Jessica WHITE, age 32, of Whitby is charged with: Criminal Negligence Causing Death.
Aspira Traditions of Durham Retirement Living, located at 1255 Bloor Street East, Oshawa is charged with Criminal Negligence Causing Death.
