An advocate for patients' rights is sounding the alarm about safety and security at Quebec seniors' homes after a 93-year-old woman was found dead of hypothermia in Montreal, according to an article on the CBC Radio website.
The woman left the seniors' complex through a back door at 4:15 a.m. after a carbon monoxide alarm went off.
The door locked behind her, trapping her outside in a windchill of –32 C. Her body was discovered seven hours later.
Police say it appears she didn't hear an audio announcement that her building — one of three in the complex — was not being evacuated.
The facility said security cameras show the woman was wearing winter clothing when she left and may have fainted while outside.
