  • André died outside a shelter that closed due to plumbing issues and a COVID-19 outbreak during a government-imposed nighttime curfew to limit virus spread.
  • The report follows public hearings held in May and June 2024, which included 51 witnesses and highlighted failures in care and gaps in service for vulnerable homeless people.
  • Gamache wrote the 75-page report contains 23 recommendations focused on strengthening safety nets, monitoring homelessness, and addressing cultural safety and pandemic context.
  • The coroner determined that André's death could have been avoided, emphasizing that had he been provided with a warm and safe place to stay, he would have survived despite being severely intoxicated from alcohol.
