Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Nov, 2019 08:20 PM

    LAVAL, Que. - Police in Quebec have opened a criminal investigation after a hospital patient died following an operating room incident.

     

    Health authorities in Laval, a suburb north of Montreal, say operating room employees at the Cite-de-la-Sante hospital filed a complaint after an unspecified event allegedly caused the patient's death.

     

    Neither the hospital network nor Laval police would confirm the nature of the Nov. 1 incident.

     

    The Centre integre de sante et de services sociaux de Laval says the doctor involved in the incident was suspended and later resigned.

     

    The hospital has met the deceased patient's family and is offering psychological support to its employees.

     

    The coroner's office and various professional orders have also been informed.
