Missed brain injury kills bride-to-be
Different diagnosis may have saved her, fiancé says
Young couple would have been married this summer
By Mike FUNSTON,
Staff
Reporter
Oakville couple Karen
SHANK and James
CLARK were to be married
on July 30, but today
CLARK is mourning the death of his fiancée.
The 32-year-old woman succumbed to a stroke brought on by a rare
injury, which doctors failed to diagnose after a car accident.
"The accident happened almost right outside our home -- I heard
the bang and ran outside -- somehow I just knew it was her,"
said a distraught
CLARK, who was able to comfort
SHANK moments
after the crash.
CLARK wants to know if a different diagnosis in the emergency
room at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington could have
saved her life. The coroner's office is investigating.
On May 19,
SHANK, program manager for the Canadian Red Cross
water safety program, was returning home at 4: 38 p.m. when, according
to Halton Region police, her Honda Civic was struck as she made
a left turn from Neyagawa Blvd. onto River Oaks Blvd.
SHANK suffered a whiplash-type injury and took a bang on the
head from the car's air bag,
CLARK said.
At the hospital, head, neck and back X-rays were taken in the
emergency ward, but nothing serious was detected and
SHANK was
sent home that same evening with Gravol for nausea, said
CLARK,
who said she couldn't maintain her balance and needed help walking
as they left hospital.
The next day,
SHANK was becoming less coherent and was taken
back to Brant. Later that day, she was transferred to Hamilton
General Hospital and admitted for treatment.
Three days later, on May 23,
SHANK died from what an autopsy
revealed was a stroke caused by an injury, police said.
CLARK was later told that two key blood vessels had been compressed,
slowly choking off the blood supply to the brain and that it
was a very rare type of injury. Had only one of the blood vessels
been damaged, she wouldn't have died, he was told.
A memorial service for
SHANK was held Wednesday in Oakville.
SHANK was to be cremated and her ashes taken to Saskatoon for
a memorial service there on Monday. She was born in Moose Jaw
and also lived in Burnaby, British Columbia, as well as Saskatoon.
SHANK's parents, Bill and Carol, are United Church ministers
in Saskatchewan.
SHANK is also survived by a brother, Brian.
"They're taking it hard, but they're fantastic people," said
CLARK. "
They're as solid as rocks. Their faith is helping them
get through this."
Coroner
Dr.
David
EDEN said it will be six to eight months before
all the tests are complete and a decision can be made on whether
to hold an inquest.
Brant hospital spokesman Ebbe
MARQUARDSEN said the hospital is
conducting an internal investigation.

Man fatally shot inside posh Vaughan home
By Mike FUNSTON, Staff Reporter, With files from Dana
BROWN,
Page B1
A man was shot inside his posh Vaughan home yesterday and later
died in hospital in what police are treating as a robbery-related
crime.
The victim called 911 at about 10 a.m. from the house on Cipriano
Court off Vaughan Mills Rd., near Rutherford Rd.
He said he was hurt.
"He was taken to Sunnybrook hospital where he succumbed to his
injuries," said Sgt. Bruce
WEST of the homicide squad. "We're
treating it as a break-and-enter or home invasion-type incident."
West refused to identify the victim, saying relatives hadn't
been notified. An autopsy is to be performed today. Police weren't
sure how many shots had been fired or had hit the victim, who
was believed to be alone at the time, West said.
One neighbour identified the home's owner as Carlo DI
MATTEO,
and another said a family of five, including three children,
lived in the home. The family has lived there for at least five
years, neighbours said.
The stylish two-storey home, with a swimming pool and stone driveway,
was cordoned off as officers searched for clues.
"It's too early in the investigation to tell whether this specific
house was targeted or whether this was a random act,"
WEST said.
"Typically in a home invasion-type robbery people go there for
a sole purpose."
WEST said neighbours apparently didn't see or hear anything.
In the 911 call, the victim did not relay any information about
the assailant.
WEST would not say if anything was taken from the home.
A neighbour said they often saw the father playing with his teen
daughter and two younger sons out in the street.
York Region officers were investigating another suspicious death
yesterday, but refused to rule it a homicide until an autopsy
has been done. A man collapsed in the driveway of the Pinecrest
Motel on Highway 7 and died later in hospital.
WEST would not
give details.

Victim mowed down by car
Man, 23, dies in hit-run near home
Toronto driver faces charges

Sumit KAPOOR used his friend's cellphone to call his parents
Thursday evening, to say he would be home by 6: 30 p.m. But he
never made it.
Twenty minutes after his scheduled arrival, police received calls
about a Ford Taurus that had chased
KAPOOR onto a pedestrian
walkway, ran him down and drove away.
The chase, police said yesterday, followed an altercation between
KAPOOR and the driver in a nearby parking lot in Thornhill, off
New Westminster Dr. just north of Steeles Ave.
KAPOOR, 23, was taken to Sunnybrook and Women's College Health
Sciences Centre, where he died.
Shaun Edward
PLAFKER, 20, of Toronto has been charged with second-degree
murder.
At KAPOOR's home on a curved, quiet laneway in Thornhill near
where he was struck down, his family remained paralyzed with
shock and bewilderment.
One family member wondered through red-rimmed eyes whether it
really was
KAPOOR who had died. His sister, who had just flown
back from Atlanta, pleaded for privacy.
The KAPOOR family moved to Canada from Calcutta, India in 1988.
KAPOOR's uncle, Alan
LIU, sponsored the family's immigration.
KAPOOR's father is Indian while his mother is Chinese. His middle
name is Weikang.
Yesterday, a steady stream of family and Friends arrived to offer
their condolences.
"We are in terrible shock,"
LIU said, barely holding back tears.
"He must have got mixed up with some bad people. These weren't
his Friends. If they were Friends, why would they just run him
down?"
LIU said
KAPOOR had called home to say when he would arrive,
but he did not indicate he had been in a fight.
LIU described
KAPOOR as a quiet young man who enjoyed hanging
out with his Friends. He held a job at Swiss Chalet, but had
most recently been working as a security guard,
LIU said.
Police yesterday had cordoned off the south parking lot at Louis-Honore
Frechette Public School on New Westminster Dr.
Across the street, the path leads onto a residential street --
Mabley Cr. A single, bluish-coloured streak runs the length of
the path.
The KAPOOR household is only a couple of blocks away.
Police won't say what sparked the fight.
PLAFKER was being held for a bail hearing in Newmarket.
