Mother skeptical of investigation into son’s deadly overdose at treatment centre
VANCOUVER – The mother of young Coquitlam, B.C., man who died in substance-abuse treatment centre says she doubts a third-party investigation into his death will hold anyone to account.
Brandon Jansen, 20, died on March 7 at the Sunshine Coast Health Centre, a privately-run facility in Powell River, B.C., where he was being treated for his addiction to the opioid fentanyl.
The centre’s chief executive Melanie Jordan will be releasing findings from a third-party investigation into his death on Monday in Vancouver.
Brandon’s mother, Michelle Jansen, said the centre did not inform her about Monday’s announcement and although she doesn’t know what will be presented, she says she suspects the centre will try to minimize their involvement in her son’s death.
