Police in Abbotsford, B.C., are investigating the medically assisted death of a woman whose daughters are raising questions as to why the procedure was approved when their mother’s mental health wasn’t in an adequate state to make that kind of decision.

Donna Duncan, a long-time psychiatric nurse, died on Oct. 29, 2021, after she was approved for medical assistance in dying (MAID). She was 61 years old and had no terminal illness, reported CTV News on April 26.
