39. Addressing inequities within Canada's death investigation systems

In this episode, Dr. Kona Williams, a Cree and Mohawk forensic pathologist and coroner based in Sudbury, Ontario, talks to host Sandra about what forensic pathology is (and isn’t). They also discuss death investigation systems, why some communities in so-called Canada are left waiting years for answers about their loved ones’ deaths, and what needs to happen to ensure health care is more equitable for all – including those who are no longer living.
