The death at the facility run by Central West Specialized Developmental Services (CWSDS) is not considered to be suspicious but the coroner has been notified, according to Const. Jeff Dillon, spokesperson for Halton police."
"CWSDS is a provincially funded organization that provides a supportive living community for adults with developmental disabilities. Dillon said in an email on Friday that police and paramedics responded to a medical call for service at 53 Bond St. around 6 a.m. Friday. Paramedics tried to save the person's life but the person was pronounced dead. Police conducted an investigation but there is "no indication of a criminal offence," Dillon said."
A resident of an Oakville group home run by Central West Specialized Developmental Services died after paramedics responded to a medical call at about 6 a.m. The death is not considered suspicious and the coroner has been notified. Police investigated and reported no indication of a criminal offence. The organization had temporarily consolidated residents from several Burlington, Georgetown, Halton Hills, Mississauga and Oakville group homes into its main Oakville facility in October ahead of a strike. Family members have asked the provincial premier to return residents to their regular homes. Frontline workers represented by OPSEU Local 249 began striking Nov. 19 over wages and working conditions.
