#BREAKING B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa LaPointe says there has been a significant increase in deaths where it is suspected that extreme heat 'has been contributory.' Normal: 130 deaths from Fri. to Mon. At least 233 deaths over the past 4 days. #bcpoli #bcheat #bc
Wait times for ambulances and help are suffering. In Burnaby, there have been 34 sudden deaths (15 yesterday, 19 as of noon today). LaPointe says the death total will rise as new data is added. #bcpoli #bcheat #bc burnabynow.com/bc-news/bc-hea…
In Vancouver, a police spokesperson said officers have responded to 65 sudden deaths since Friday but that its tally is
“changing by the hour as people are sadly discovering loved ones.” #bcpoli #bcheat #bc
In Surrey, RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Elenor Sturko confirmed they had recorded 38 sudden deaths over less than 36 hours, far higher than the two to five reported on an average day. #bcpoli #bcheat #bc
LaPointe: 'Environmental heat exposure can lead to severe or fatal results, particularly in older people, infants and young children and those with chronic illnesses.' #bcpoli #bcheat #bc

The pandemic has been in Canada, and B.C., for one year. But today, as a member of the media, was the most disappointing day I think I’ve experienced today covering it #bcpoli #bced #covid19 #COVIDBC #COVID
First, unless I missed it, Dr. Henry didn’t appear. Instead, is was Dr. Gustafson. #bcpoli #bced #covid19 #COVIDBC #COVID
Today’s briefing felt like a 100 per cent scripted show. As variant cases continue to grow, we’re told B.C. has such low numbers but the attitude given off today by officials made it sound like ‘our numbers are low, we’re fine.’ #bcpoli #bced #covid19 #COVIDBC #COVID
