1. Tragic deaths spark urgent calls: Dr. Barbara Kane told a Burnaby inquest that B.C. needs a dedicated psychiatric hospital (or a few) after Christopher Duong is suspected of killing his wife Janet Nguyen and their sons, aged two and four, on June 13, 2023 — three days after he was detained under the Mental Health Act and released a few hours later. She said northern hospitals like Prince Rupert Regional (where Duong was assessed) have nowhere to safely transfer people with severe, ongoing mental illness since Riverview closed in 2012, and recommended psychiatric-trained staff in emergency rooms; the hearing also heard details about the 2 a.m. police encounter and other testimony from counsel Steven Liu and James Wale. This matters because gaps in psychiatric beds and emergency care can mean people are discharged too early — if you or someone is thinking of suicide, call or text 988 for 24/7 support.
