The family of a soldier who died of a drug overdose hopes this week's fatality inquiry in Edmonton will prevent future deaths. If the inquiry prevents the death of "one kid, I'm happy," said Rogers's father, Rick, leaning on a cane outside provincial court in Edmonton Tuesday. The witness, Dr. James Schimpf, who was Rogers's physician at CFB Edmonton, took the stand. Schimpf said an addictions counsellor at the base concluded Rogers didn't have a problem after assessing her in May 2012. But that summer, another physician took over after Schimpf was injured in a motor vehicle accident.
