Quebec’s Health Minister says her department will review what happened after reports surfaced that a man suspected of killing his young children before taking his own life was hospitalized just weeks before the deaths for suicidal thoughts.
Danielle McCann says medical professionals who had been involved in the case are particularly affected by the deaths, and she and the rest of Quebec are in mourning, calling it an “inconceivable tragedy.”
McCann says information has already being gathered from a Montreal psychiatric hospital where the man had been treated and from youth workers who were also involved.
She says a full review will take place, acknowledging that the man — identified by the coroner’s office as 40-year-old Jonathan Pomares — had received treatment.
