A Manitoba judge demands systemic changes after a man died from a drug overdose despite repeated attempts to get treatment.
A Manitoba judge has called for systemic reforms after Lee Earnshaw, a 42-year-old former fisherman, died of a fentanyl and methamphetamine overdose in a Winnipeg homeless encampment in 2021.
Despite multiple attempts to access treatment, Earnshaw faced barriers including limited detox beds, fragmented services, and lack of available care.
Judge Tracey Lord’s inquest revealed widespread gaps in addiction support, leading to eight recommendations: expanding walk-in clinics, increasing detox beds, covering addiction medications, extending clinic hours, and improving coordination.
The case highlights urgent needs in Manitoba’s addiction care system, particularly for homeless individuals seeking recovery.
