BC Coroners Service Finds No Record of Overdose Death Claimed by Conservative Leader

John Rustad's account of witnessing a fatal overdose in Vancouver is contradicted by official records.

The BC Coroners Service reports no recent drug toxicity deaths at the Vancouver intersection mentioned by John Rustad.
Rustad stated during a televised debate that he saw a man die from an overdose at Robson and Hornby streets.
BC Emergency Health Services also confirmed no patient events at the specified location on the day in question.
Rustad used the anecdote to criticize the current state of British Columbia under NDP Leader David Eby.
Neither Rustad nor the BC Conservative Party have responded to requests for further comment on the incident.
