Parents of Victoria teen who died of overdose renew calls for coroner's inquest

The parents of Elliot Eurchuk, a 15-year-old Victoria boy who died of an opioid overdose during the spring, say the investigation into their son’s death has left them disappointed.

After receiving the results of an internal review by the Island Health Authority in a letter, Rachel Staples and Brock Eurchuk are renewing their calls this week for a coroner’s inquest.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond — a law professor at UBC and the former B.C. representative for children and youth — is assisting the family’s legal team and adding her voice to its call.
