SHA investigating death at Prince Albert detox

A person who was placed in patient care for observation at the Brief and Social Detox Centre in Prince Albert, was later found deceased.

The confirmation from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) comes after a request from paNOW. It also noted that on Sept. 4, the individual was initially referred from the Victoria Hospital emergency room.

“An investigation is underway following the incident and the SHA has no additional details to share at this time,” the SHA said.

When paNOW reached out to Donna Brooks, the CEO of Prince Albert YWCA, for comment she was surprised by the news and noted they’ve always had a good working relationship with the Brief and Social Detox.
