Grandmother, 83, Died With Hands Clasped in Prayer After Family Says She Was Euthanised Against Her Will

  • Brigitte Stegemann, 83, died during a Medical Assistance in Dying procedure in Ontario on July 10.
  • Her granddaughter, Brigitte Kranendonk, alleges that Stegemann opposed MAiD, appeared confused during her assessment, and cried, “I’ve made a mistake” two days before the procedure.
  • Kranendonk alleges that the procedure began without clear verbal confirmation and that failed IV attempts left Stegemann covered in blood.
  • The family has asked Ontario authorities and police to investigate, while the Chief Coroner’s Office said its MAiD Review Team examines every reported MAiD death for compliance.
