He was among the first doctors in Canada to perform dialysis
Irish-born renal specialist who had trained in the U.S. introduced
the experimental treatment to Kingston hospitals. Sometimes,
he even built his own equipment
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S8
Peter MORRIN was a Canadian pioneer in kidney dialysis who in
1967 performed one of the first successful uses of blood purification,
or hemodialysis, in Kingston.
Although trained as a nephrologist - or kidney specialist - the
Irish-born doctor did not want to get involved in hemodialysis
when he first arrived at Kingston General Hospital. At the time,
the equipment was large and complicated, and Doctor
MORRIN maintained
that dialysis would only work if applied by a properly trained
team with the right apparatus. But a dramatic incident in the
emergency room forced him to act before he was ready.
A badly injured car-accident victim arrived at Kingston General
suffering from kidney failure, among other things. Dialysis might
save him. As it turned out, an unused dialysis machine lay in
the basement of the nearby Hotel Dieu Hospital. Volunteer fundraisers
had donated the machine after a patient died of kidney failure
and it had sat, untouched, ever since.
The trouble was, no one in Kingston was familiar with the thing
- except for Doctor
MORRIN, that is. Nine years earlier, he had
been a member of a university medical team in Missouri that had
been among the first in the world to achieve hemodialysis and
he knew what he must do.
"We borrowed the Kingston General Hospital van and drove over
to the Hotel Dieu where we found the kidney dialysis machine
covered with dust and brought it back to Kingston General Hospital.
I plugged it in, switched it on and it seemed to be in working
order," recalled Doctor
MORRIN in a memoir in 2004. "The operating
room staff cleaned it, and we set it up in the one of the operating
rooms."
It took eight hours to prepare the dialysis machine, which turned
out to be tragically too long for the patient. By the time the
machine was hooked up, his condition had deteriorated and he
died.
"This event galvanized the hospital to establish a hemodialysis
team and draw up the necessary protocols and procedures. The
next patient with acute renal failure did not meet such a tragic
end," relates a profile of Doctor
MORRIN from the Kidney Foundation
of Canada.
The next patient was another accident victim, a 21-year-old man
who had rolled his car and spent six hours in a ditch before
anyone noticed him. He was dying, and one of his problems was
kidney failure. Doctor
MORRIN and a urologist, Andrew
BRUCE, stayed
with the young man for six hours during the treatment. He survived.
Dialysis is used to mimic the functions of the kidneys, cleaning
the blood, among other things. It is not a perfect replacement
for a kidney, but treatment on a dialysis machine is enough to
keep a patient alive. Dialysis can be used for patients with
temporary or permanent kidney failure.
Peter MORRIN was the
son of two Dublin doctors. He was sent to
school in England at Ampleforth College, a Catholic boarding
school run by the Benedictine Order. He returned to Ireland for
university, studying medicine at University College, Dublin.
In 1954, he graduated first in his class and studied in Liverpool
for several months. He then went to work for two years at Boston
City Hospital in Massachusetts.
After that, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, for more postgraduate
work and it was at the Washington University School of Medicine
that he became a part of a team that was among the first anywhere
to achieve hemodialysis. The 1958 procedure saved the life of
a 9-year-old.
From there, he went on to become acting director of the renal
division at the Barnes Hospital in St. Louis in 1960. Always
a keen rugger player in Ireland, he hooked up with the local
rugby club and it was through that connection that he met his
wife, Mariella.
A year later, he arrived at Queen's University to be a lecturer
in the department of medicine and to join the staff of Kingston
General. After working in general medicine, he established the
hospital's renal program and the nephrology division.
Along the way, he began experimenting with dialysis machines
of his own. Applying what he had learned in Missouri and adding
everything he had since figured out for himself, he began to
put together his own equipment.
In 1965, he invented his own dialysis machine, said his friend,
Ross
Morton.
Doctor
MORRIN called it the King Med machine.
"He also had to mix his own chemical solution in a big steel
drum," added Doctor
MORTON, a professor of medicine at Queen's.
"He put in water and added the correct concentration of chemicals.
Now it's done automatically, but then it had to be done by hand."
In the end, it was not until 1967 that the Kingston dialysis
unit opened. At first, it was just a four-bed unit located upstairs
from the X-ray department. Today, the unit has eight nephrologists
on staff and provides dialysis to 250 patients in Kingston, as
well as another 100 patients in seven satellite centres and at
homes in eastern Ontario from Brockville to Belleville.
Along with his specialty in nephrology, Doctor
MORRIN was also a
medical ethicist. From the outset, many ethical questions arose
about who would receive dialysis and who would not. To be refused
was to receive a death sentence.
Hospital boards made decisions on who would be given dialysis,
since the machinery, the chemicals and the medical specialists
were in short supply. Sometimes, hospitals would choose men over
women because men were the breadwinners. It was something that
always troubled Doctor
MORRIN.
"In the early days of dialysis, you had to be between the ages
of 15 to 45 to qualify - with no other serious disease apart
from the renal failure. It was done by a committee," said Doctor
MORTON.
"Peter was a very fair man and worked on the basis that anyone
who could benefit from the treatment should get it. He always
struck the right ethical balance."
In his academic career, Doctor
MORRIN started as a lecturer in medicine
at Queen's in 1961, and rose to become a full professor by 1977.
He took a sabbatical year in 1975-76, studying at the Institute
of Nephrology in Paris.
Peter MORRIN was an outgoing man. All his life he retained the
soft accent of educated Dublin, but he could mimic the many other
Irish accents. If he listened to an Irishman speak, he could
pinpoint the county of his birth - be it Kerry, Sligo or Wexford.
He was also a great storyteller and raconteur. At his engagement
party in St. Louis he was cornered by some Americans who seemed
to think all Irishmen were peasants, priests or Bing Crosby.
"So, Peter, why did you come to America?"
"Well, because the bull died."
His audience was astonished.
"Well, you see," he continued, straight-faced," I was engaged
to be married to a lovely Irish girl. But in Ireland, the bride's
family must provide a dowry. Then, the night before the wedding,
the bull - the dowry - died. So we couldn't get married, and
I had to leave Ireland."
Mariella, his fiancée, soon broke up the bull session.
A devoted family man, Doctor
MORRIN was involved in the lives of
his three sons as children and adults. He took up sailing, first
buying a sailboat and then a book on how to sail. The family
sailed out of the Kingston Yacht Club and one son, Hugh, went
on to represent Canada at the 1981 world youth championships
in Portugal. Doctor
MORRIN was also a keen fly fisherman.
In 1995, he retired from clinical work and full-time teaching.
The Peter Morrin Prize in Nephrology, established by colleagues
and Friends on his retirement, is awarded annually to the fourth-year
medical student at Queen's University obtaining the highest overall
standing in nephrology.
Peter
Arthur
Francis
MORRIN was born in Dublin, Ireland, on October 8,
1931. He died at Kingston, Ontario, on October 3, 2007, of injuries
suffered in a head-on car accident that occurred while on his
way home from a day spent fly fishing. He was five days short
of his 75th birthday. Doctor
MORRIN is survived by his wife, Mariella,
and his three sons, Peter, Hugh and Robin.

Deadly triangle
A London teacher and one man are found dead in a car. Another
man is shot in a parking lot.
By Joe BELANGER, Patrick
MALONEY and Joe
MATYAS, Sun Media, Mon.,
December 10, 2007
A London teacher is dead and a colleague recovering in hospital
after a stunning parking lot ambush yesterday that preceded an
apparent murder-suicide 300 kilometres away.
Angela SEDORE, 40, was found dead in her sport utility vehicle
near Peterborough just hours after Ed
DICKSON/DIXON -- a fellow teacher
at Ashley Oaks elementary school -- was shot by
SEDORE's boyfriend
outside a south London plaza, family members say.
SEDORE's sister said she had been dating a man named Ray
KING
for two years.
The bodies of
KING and
SEDORE were found, apparently shot to
death, in her sport utility vehicle south of Peterborough following
a police chase.
"This guy obviously came for one thing and that was to kill all
three of them,"
DICKSON/DIXON's father, Ken
DICKSON/DIXON, said.
DICKSON/DIXON's father said it appears a phone call to his son's home
from a colleague whom his son had just started dating may have
set the tragic chain of events in motion early yesterday.
DICKSON/DIXON, 36, told his father
SEDORE sounded distraught and wanted
to meet him, so he decided to go see if everything was all right.
He later described to his father a chilling scene.
Upon arriving at the parking lot outside the A and P store at Wellington
and Commissioners roads about 1: 40 a.m., he approached the woman's
vehicle when a man hopped out, armed with a gun.
The man fired, the bullet ripping through one side of
DICKSON/DIXON's
stomach and out the other, then through the window of his Jeep,
he told his father.
"If he didn't turn (his body,) he'd be a dead man," Ken
DICKSON/DIXON
said after visiting his son in the hospital. "A gunshot wound
to the stomach, you're a dead man."
Remarkably, Ed
DICKSON/DIXON told his father he jotted down the licence
plate number as the vehicle drove off.
Within an hour,
SEDORE's apartment on the second floor of a quaint
Hyman Street home was swarming with police officers whose dramatic
arrival stunned neighbours.
Durham regional officers, east of Toronto, were on alert for
SEDORE's sport utility vehicle in connection with the London
shooting and would soon be following it.
About 4: 45 a.m. yesterday, the Ontario Provincial Police was
asked to follow the sport utility vehicle as it travelled north
on Highway 115, which runs from Highway 401 to Peterborough,
SEDORE's home town.
The sport utility vehicle drove over a police spike belt and
went into a ditch, about 10 kilometres south of Peterborough.
SEDORE and a man found inside were dead of apparent gunshot wounds.
Police sources told Sun Media the dead man in the sport utility
vehicle is Ray
KING, 41.
A neighbour, who described
SEDORE as a "wonderful" person, said
the teacher had been dating a man named Ray.
Having dramatically changed his appearance -- dropping 30 pounds
and getting a new haircut -- he was visiting her in London this
weekend, the neighbour said.
Officers from the Ontario Provincial Police and city police were
at SEDORE's apartment for much of yesterday, taking away a slew
of items including her computer, a neighbour said.
SEDORE's birth mother, who only met her now-grown daughter three
years ago, was stunned by yesterday's tragedy.
"There's no words to say how I feel," Johanna
YATEMAN said when
contacted at her Peterborough home. "I feel great, great loss."
The Special Investigations Unit, which probes any civilian death
involving police, is investigating the case.
"This is a tragic circumstance and there's a lot to be done,"
the Special Investigations Unit's lead investigator, Allan
EATON,
said.
Ken DICKSON/DIXON, who travelled to London from Detroit during the weekend
for a family Christmas party, said his son was conscious but
struggling in the aftermath of his close call. "He's starting
the goofy stuff -- 'I should have called the police (before going),'
" he said.
Several teachers at Ashley Oaks, reached at their homes yesterday,
declined comment.
A huge swath of the parking lot at the busy south-end plaza --
which houses several restaurants and a busy grocery store --
was taped off for hours as officers scoured around
DICKSON/DIXON's green
Jeep, a bullet hole clearly visible in its side window.
Shoppers coming in and out of the A and P were stunned by the scene.
"This city is getting bad," said one elderly woman. "You've got
to have eyes in the back of your head."
DICKSON/DIXON's shooting happened fewer than 24 hours after the death
of Anthony
BRUN in an Old South home a few blocks away. A man
[later identified as Gordon Tyler
McCURDY] has been charged with
second-degree murder in the 24-year-old's death.
What Happened
Late
Saturday
Night: Londoner Ed
DICKSON/DIXON gets a distraught-sounding
call from a fellow teacher at Ashley Oaks elementary school.
He goes to meet her at the A and P store parking lot at Wellington
and Commissioners roads, arriving about 1: 30 a.m. yesterday.
A man with a gun exits the woman's vehicle and fires a shot that
rips through
DICKSON/DIXON's stomach. The vehicle takes off. Wounded,
DICKSON/DIXON jots down the licence plate and calls police.
Yesterday, 4: 45 a.m.: Durham Regional Police ask Peterborough
Ontario Provincial Police to intercept an sport utility vehicle,
wanted in a London investigation, along Highway 115, which extends
north from the 401 toward Peterborough.
The sport utility vehicle runs over a police spike belt south
of Hwy. 7A and ends up in a ditch, 10 km south of Peterborough.
Ontario Provincial Police find the bodies of a man and a woman
Ray KING of Belleville and London teacher Angela
SEDORE --
in the sport utility vehicle. They appear to have been shot to
death. The sport utility vehicle is registered to
SEDORE.

'An amazing guy' lost
Family say Anthony
BRUN, who was killed Saturday, would do anything
for them.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Sun Media, Mon., December 10, 2007
A 24-year-old Londoner slain this weekend was remembered yesterday
as a well-liked man who would do anything for his parents and
brothers.
Anthony BRUN, a John Paul II alumnus who worked with a relative
in the flooring business, died in hospital following an incident
inside an Old South home early Saturday.
"He was a wonderful young man," Mary
BRUN,
Anthony's stepmother,
said yesterday.
"My son, my beautiful son was taken. And it shouldn't have happened."
Added BRUN's 14-year-old brother, Nick, "He was an amazing guy.
All my family think he's an amazing guy. I loved him."
Relatives say
BRUN was out with acquaintances Friday night and
returned to one of their homes, at 189 Belgrave Ave. just south
of Emery.
London police were called at about 7 a.m. Saturday following
what was described as a "disturbance." A relative says
BRUN was
found injured on the front lawn.
He was later pronounced dead in hospital. A man who lives at
the home is charged with second-degree murder in London's fourth
homicide of 2007.
As an active teenager,
BRUN was a basketball player who spent
years refereeing tournaments across the city.
"He was… well-liked by people," said his emotional father, Luigi.
"I'm shocked. I cried all night (Saturday) night. He was my oldest
son, you know?"
About a year ago,
BRUN crossed paths with police as a witness
to a shooting inside Robinson Hall, a posh downtown nightclub.
He was arguing with a cousin, Luciano
BALDINELLI, over a gold
chain when a third man shot
BALDINELLI.
BRUN wasn't charged in
the incident, a relative said.
The funeral is slated for 11 a.m. Thursday at Saint Mary's Church
on Lyle Street.
Gordon Tyler
McCURDY, 33, who lives at 189 Belgrave Ave., is
charged with second-degree murder.

Widow found slain
Her son is charged with murder in the death in the complex in
Westmount.
By Katherina
DEHAAS,
Patrick
MALONEY and Daniela
SIMUNAC, Sun
Media, Wed., December 26, 2007
Cranbrook Trace is a caring little community, a clutch of high-end
London condos where residents greet their neighbours by name
and keep an eye out for one another.
Some in the Westmount complex would dutifully check in on Helen
VICARY, calling every few days to say hello and see how the kind,
elderly widow was getting along.
Then, a few weeks ago, she stopped answering the phone.
She was no longer seen picking up her mail, either.
Now, a 48-year-old man, identified by neighbours as
VICARY's
son, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of a woman
whose body was found at his mother's home on Christmas Eve.
Police haven't publicly identified the woman.
"We did notice that we hadn't seen
(VICARY) in awhile," Eric
JOHNSON, who lives a few doors away, said yesterday. "In the
last month, we hadn't seen her at all."
Monday,
London police swooped down on the
VICARY home, unit 23
at 505 Cranbrook Rd., while searching for someone reported missing
that morning.
A woman was found dead inside.
That night, neighbours say police went door-to-door asking about
Helen VICARY.
Craig James
VICARY, 48, whom, neighbours identified as Helen's
son, is charged with second-degree murder. He had been living
at the condo, police said yesterday.
With investigators still scouring the home for evidence, neighbours
who would be otherwise occupied with the holiday were shaking
their heads over the city's sixth homicide of the year.
"Obviously, we're all shocked by it," said one man. "It's really
not hit home yet. We really haven't had a whole lot of time to
reflect on it."
One neighbour said
VICARY moved into the condo about three years
ago but had lived alone since her husband died Christmas Day
two years ago. Her grown children live in the area.
Investigators were first called to the condo Monday after a report
of a missing person. Police haven't said who notified them of
the disappearance.
Police then searched for a brown, four-door Pontiac Grand Am,
which was registered to Helen
VICARY.
JOHNSON, who described the elderly
VICARY as kind and friendly,
said the homicide is "unnerving… a close community. A lot of
elderly people and we watch out for each other."
The Christmas Eve discovery marked the third serious incident
in London this month. Early December 8, 24-year-old Anthony
BRUN
was found injured outside an Old South home and later died in
hospital. Gordon Tyler
McCURDY, 33, is charged with second-degree
murder. Later that day, teacher Ed
DICKSON/DIXON was seriously hurt in
a south-end parking lot shooting. Angela
SEDORE, who taught with
DICKSON/DIXON, was killed in a murder-suicide, apparently at the hands
of Ray KOVACS, whose body was found in her sport utility vehicle
after a police chase.

Gerv enjoyed a long teaching career which began at Richmond School,
a one room school house in Carling Township, Ontario - September 1934-June 1936.
This was followed by Victory School in Parry Sound, Ontario -
September 1936-June 1939. Opportunities abounded in Sudbury so
Gerv moved north to teach at Alexander Public School - September 1939-June 1941.
He spoke fondly of summers spent at Camp Falcona as Co-Director
with good friend Bill Edgar. He left Sudbury late in 1941 to
fight in World War 2 as an Aircrew Navigator with the Royal Canadian
Air Force. He was on loan to 279 Squadron of the Royal Air Force
flying Lougheed Hudsons from the North Sea to the French, Dutch
and Danish coasts (Air Sea Resuce, Coastal Command, Bircham Newton,
Norfolk, 1943-1944). He was then transferred to 161 Squadron
of the Royal Air Force navigating Lougheed Hudsons and Stirling
aircraft as Special Duties Support dropping agents and supplies
behind enemy lines for the Resistance Movement in France, Holland,
Denmark, Northern Germany and Norway, (3 Group-Bomber Command,
Tempsford, Bedfordshire, 1944-1945). Crewmates "Nick" Nicholson,
Sam Cullen and Bud Schroeder). Gerv finished up the War with
426 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force on long range Military
Personnel Transport from Tempsford, Bedfordshire to Karachi,
India flying Liberator aircrart. (July 1945-November 19, 1945).
He returned to Sudbury to become a Principal of Queen Elizabeth
Public School, Wembley Public School, College Street Public School,
and Princess Anne Public School with the Sudbury board of Education.
Gerv spent "two of the best years of he and wife Ellen's married
life" as a Principal on loan to the Canadian Armed Forces at
Three Wing in Zweibrucken, Germany (1963-1965). The whole family
benefited immensely as a result of this wonderful opportunity.
Upon his return to Sudbury, Gerv was the Principal of Adamsdale
Public School where he retired in June 1977. Gerv served his
community for a decade as an honest and straight forward City
Councillor for both the Ryan Ward and Ward Four. He also acted
as Deputy Mayor during this time. It must also be mentioned that
Gerv was one of the four founding builders/owners of the Caswell
Motor Hotel. Gerv was born and raised in Parry Sound, Ontario.
He was always proud of his roots and often took fellow "Parry
Sounders" under his wing when they made their way to Sudbury
to work. Always the gentleman, he will truly be missed by many.

Victims hard-working, respected farmers
By April KEMICK and Vera
OVANIN, Sun Media, Tues., July 24, 2007
Though police refused to identify the elderly couple slain in
their home yesterday, neighbours and sources close to the family
said they were longtime Mount Carmel residents Bill and Helene
REGIER.
Phone calls made to several Regiers listed under Dashwood were
met with emotional rejection.
"My family is grieving," said a woman at a Regier residence before
hanging up the phone.
Neighbours confirmed police were on scene at the
REGIER farm
on Bronson Line north of Mount Carmel, where Bill and Helene
had lived for decades.
The REGIERs, both in their 70s, were "hard-working" farmers who
attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic church for years,
Friends said.
"They are very, very nice people, very respected in the community,"
said South Huron Coun. Jim
DIETRICH, who has known the couple
all his life.
"It's going to be a loss."
The couple had three sons,
DIETRICH said.
Mike BRUNEEL, principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel school, where
Bill REGIER worked for years as a custodian, said the couple
will be sorely missed.
The community -- home to the
REGIERs' children and grandchildren
has been rocked by their deaths, he said.
"These were two pillars of the community who were deeply loved
by everybody,"
BRUNEEL said.
"We're still reeling from the shock."
Dale REGIER, one of the couple's sons, is the custodian at Our
Lady of Mount Carmel and the couple's grandchildren attend the
school, BRUNEEL said.
Though the elderly couple had downsized their farming operation
in recent years, the
REGIERs were still raising sheep and working
on the farm, neighbours said.
"This is so bizarre," said neighbour Paul
MCINNES/MCINNIS, who lives
less than a kilometre from the
REGIERs' farm, which was cordoned
off and crawling with police officers yesterday.
"I just saw (Bill) on Saturday. He was out burning garbage."
The elderly couple were "hard-working" people, he said.
"They were great people."

her nieces, nephews and cousins. Mavis is predeceased by her
brothers Robert and Harold
MALLINSON.
She has relatives and Friends
right across Canada, from British Columbia to the Atlantic Provinces
and will be fondly remembered by them all. Mom was born in Montreal
on July 9th, 1920, the daughter of Donalda Grace
(WOOD) and George
James MALLINSON.
She graduated from West Hill High School in
1938. After completing a secretarial course, she worked at Ciba
Company and Allied War Supplies. As the daughter of an National
Hockey League referee, she had a great love of sports throughout
her life. She was a member of the Notre-Dame de Grace Tennis
Club and spent many winter weekends in the Laurentians skiing.
After her marriage to Fred in 1943, the couple enjoyed teaching
their children how to have fun. Ice skating, swimming, bike riding,
fishing and going on picnics were family pastimes. For many years,
Mavis and Fred were enthusiastic members of the Montreal West
Curling Club. Mom was also an active member of Westmount Baptist
Church and taught Bible study at the church's summer retreat
in the Eastern Townships, Cedar Lodge. In 1979, Mom moved to
Brampton to be closer to her grandchildren. She took up lawn
bowling and joined the local Brampton club. In early 1989, Mom
was introduced to John
McINTOSH.
The happy couple married and
moved to Belleville where they enjoyed visits with John's family.
Mom was a member of the Belleville Newcomers Club and Ladies
Euchre Group. As well as ensuring her children were well educated,
Mom passed on to them a great love of music. She was herself
part of many musical organizations. She sang in the Westmount
Baptist Choir and the Brampton Choral Society, and was a member
of the Sandalwood Chime Choir. She loved listening to performances
of the Metropolitan Opera on the radio and tolerated her son's
rock band practices in the basement of the Belmore Avenue home.
Mom was a helpful daughter, a caring sister, a good wife and
a wonderful mother. She was a proud and loving grandmother. Most
important of all, you could not ask for a better friend. We will
all miss her infectious laugh. Many thanks to the staff at Sandalwood
who looked after Mom with kindness, patience, and understanding.
Also, thank-you to the nursing staff in Ward 4A at the Peel Memorial
Hospital. A private cremation has taken place. A memorial service
will be held in the chapel at Montreal Memorial Park, 3955 Cote

GRANT,
Doreen
Violet (née
COWAN) (February 21, 1924-June 3, 2007)
In her 84th year, as a result of a debilitating stroke, Doreen
passed away surrounded by her family and under the compassionate
care of the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital. Even though she was
paralyzed and without speech, Doreen was able to communicate
expressions of her love to the members of her family and Friends
at her bedside with a smile and a squeeze of the hand. She was
predeceased in 1983 by her husband of over 40 years, William
(Bill) A. GRANT, an executive of Philips Electronics. She leaves
behind her family: daughter Margaret, daughter Karen (Larry
JACKSON,)
daughter-in-law Carol
GRANT and son Hugh (Sheri
PURCELL.)
She
is lovingly remembered by her four grandchildren, Scott (Liz
PLATTS), Tracey (Dave
PENDER), Joni
BRUNTON (Andrew
LAMORE),
and Kate JACKSON; and one great-grandchild, Jessica
MacDONALD
and many beloved nieces and nephews. Her two remaining brothers,
Bert COWAN
(Sue) of Vancouver and George
COWAN (Lena) of Port
Colborne also mourn her passing. She is predeceased by her siblings:
Het NURSE,
Boyd
COWAN and Mary
JOHNSON. Doreen remained vigorous,
vibrant and independent until her stroke. She lived in her own
home, carefully tended her own gardens and played bridge with
a number of groups. 'Granny' was a welcome and active participant
in the lives of her children and their families. The day of the
stroke she was taking pleasure in the warm spring sun from her
seat on the front porch swing of her home. Through her life Doreen
was an active force in everything in which she became involved.
Through the fifties and sixties, summers at the 'Lake of Two
Rivers' cottage meant all the Algonquin Park staff knew her by
name. She was also active in the Progressive Conservative Party
at both the federal and provincial levels, participating in many
election and leadership campaigns. Following cremation, a visitation
will be held at the Pine Hills Visitation, Chapel and Reception
Centre, 625 Birchmount Road, Toronto (416-267-8229) on Sunday,
June 10, 2007 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Celebration of
her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation or Sunnybrook Health
Science Centre.

Police point to diabetes as probable cause of death for Algoma
Chief Executive Officer's daughter
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page
A20
The daughter of Algoma Steel Inc. president and Chief Executive
Officer Denis
TURCOTTE likely suffered diabetic complications
before dying in her Ryerson University dorm room, police and
family say.
When Adele
TURCOTTE, 17, didn't answer her phone all day Thursday,
her mother, Julie, called one of her daughter's Friends who lives
in the same residence building to check on her, Toronto police
Detective Robert
GORDON said yesterday.
The friend found her in bed in her sixth-floor single room without
vital signs about 4: 15 p.m.
A postmortem examination conducted yesterday was inconclusive,
but Det. GORDON said foul play is not suspected and police are
not looking for witnesses. Police have also ruled out suicide.
The first-year fashion student had diabetes since she was six
years old, "and worked hard at having a normal life in spite
of it," her family wrote in a death notice.
The coroner's office is now awaiting the results of a toxicology
test, which "examines fluids of the body, the blood and everything
to see what's in there - you know, alcohol, drugs, whatever her
insulin level was at the time," Det.
GORDON said.
Ms. TURCOTTE, who was born in Saint John but grew up in Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario, "was the best friend a girl could have,"
one of her closest Friends, Stefanie
BRUZAS, 18, said from Sault
Ste. Marie last night.
"She's been through everything with me. A rough breakup, a fight
with my Friends - she would never take sides but she would talk
me through it."
Ms. BRUZAS, who is also attending school in Toronto, said Ms.
TURCOTTE
had designed her own clothing line, Turca, before being accepted
at Ryerson and would often dress in her own designs when going
out.
"She was doing everything she wanted to," Ms.
BRUZAS said. "She
knew how to have fun, but she always got her work done. She made
great Friends after moving to Toronto, but stuck with her old
ones. Her life was perfect. She was perfect."
