Staff at the Overdose Prevention Society in Vancouver say the man killed Monday night behind St. Paul's Hospital was their colleague, Thomus Donaghy. Donaghy would walk Vancouver's streets and alleys, often alone at night, just to make sure someone didn't overdose alone, she said. Blyth says Donaghy was part of her team, which won an award from the City of Vancouver for its overdose prevention efforts. "Everybody loved him and the thought of something tragic happening to him in that way is unbearable for everyone in the community," said Blyth. Donaghy was part of the Overdose Prevention Society team that won an award from the City of Vancouver for their lifesaving efforts.
