13-Jul-07: Coroner’s Inquest

Summary:

She was 3 years-old at EDOD, foster parents admitted using a harness to pin Savannah in her crib at night. Her Foster mother claims that she found Savannah in the crib having trouble breathing and called for paramedics. Savannah was brought to the hospital and died 2 days later from undetermined injuries.

The Coroners report showed neglect, unexplainable bruises, excessive brain swelling and advanced hypothermia. The coroner who did the initial investigation asked for an inquest and stated that some of the injuries that Savannah had were not consistent with accidental injuries.

No inquest was granted even though the coroner wrote the death down as ‘troubling’ and ‘undetermined’; the Foster Parents were never investigated for her death. There were several requests from the BC Coroners Services (BCCS) staff members and from the parents lawyer Michael Ross to have an inquest into her death.

The BC Coroners Service decided on 7-Apr-06 to reopen the investigation in to her death. On 3-Nov-07 the Coroner’s inquest turned in their verdict along with 26 recommendations for changes. The inquest ruled Savannah’s death as a homicide after two weeks of testimony.

Soon after the Coroner’s deliberation results the RCMP state that her case is still under investigation and no charges are to be brought forth at this time.
