Inquest into 3 mental health deaths postponed
Coroner's inquest was scheduled to begin May 16
A coroner's inquest into the deaths of three people who died days after leaving an Abbotsford mental health facility has been delayed.
The inquest was scheduled to begin May 16, 2016, but the BC Coroners Service says some key witnesses were not available and new information was recently discovered.
Brian David Geisheimer, 30, died in Mission on Dec. 28, 2014.
Meanwhile Sebastien Pavit Abdi, 19, of Abbotsford, died at his family home on April 26, 2015 and Sarah Louise Charles, 41, died the same day near her Abbotsford apartment building.
Barbara McLintock, a spokesperson for the coroners service, told CBC in 2015 former patients did not know one another and that their deaths were not homicides.
A new date for the inquest has not been set.
