Inquiry into fatal seniors home fire

First Published:

The coroner’s inquiry will determine the cause of death of each of the 32 victims, along with the origin and likely causes of the fire.

The co-owner of the seniors’ home called for a public inquiry two weeks ago.

A 3.8-million dollar civil lawsuit against the town of L’Isle-Verte alleges the community failed to implement emergency plans which might have lowered the death toll.

Investigations into the tragedy are already being carried out by Quebec Provincial Police and the fire commissioner.
