Call to reopen investigation into B.C. woman's death after cause ruled undetermined

Family and advocates say the coroner’s ruling leaves key questions unanswered and are urging a new review of the 20-year-old’s death.

  • On Monday, Natasha Harrison and advocacy groups including the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs called for a renewed investigation into her 20-year-old daughter Tatyanna Harrison's death after a coroner's inquest last week ruled the cause undetermined.
  • The inquest's 'undetermined' finding conflicted with earlier coroner's service conclusions attributing death to drug toxicity or sepsis; Natasha Harrison described the investigations into her daughter's 2022 death as 'built on assumptions.'
  • Legal counsel Sue Brown noted authorities never tested a sexual assault kit collected six months after the body was found in Richmond; Brown emphasized investigators failed to determine how Tatyanna Harrison arrived at the location or who she was with.
  • Brown and advocacy groups including the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and Justice for Girl's demanded the minister of public safety and solicitor general launch a formal review into agency failures to restore public trust.
  • While a coroner's jury issued eight recommendations regarding police training and Indigenous liaison officers, Natasha Harrison stated the jury 'missed a lot,' as she continues to seek proof her daughter was not murdered or trafficked.
