When she saw the picture of the man Heene believed to be her father, Demidoff thought it looked familiar. His family ended up in B.C., where he would become a printer by trade. His family says he died by suicide and had suffered a head injury just days before the war ended in 1945. Heene said she's sad that her father died so tragically, but is very glad she has found a "new family" in Canada. After her father left for the war, her mother was infected with tuberculosis and spent years recovering in a hospital.
