B.C. has seen a 75 per cent increase in the number of lives lost compared to 2020
New preliminary reporting from the B.C. Coroner’s Service is detailing the number of deaths of individuals experiencing homelessness in 2021.
"We know that many are facing significant health concerns, including physical disabilities, mental-health challenges and substance-use issues. Additionally, as is also evident in the province's housed population, the report details the significant risks associated with toxic drugs for those who are unhoused. My hope is that this information will help support positive action, both during Homelessness Action Week and beyond.
Individuals between 30 and 59 years accounted for 72 per cent of reported deaths, and 83 per cent of decedents were male. More than half of the investigated deaths occurred in either the Fraser or Vancouver Coastal health authorities. "The BC Coroners Service's death review panel report into illicit drug toxicity deaths found a high correlation between deaths due to drug toxicity and persons living in poverty or experiencing housing instability," Lapointe said.
