In 2018, Klassen told CBC News her brother had gone missing before while a patient at the hospital. How can they lose a patient and then find out that that patient is locked in a bathroom?" In the statement of claim, Klassen alleges her brother died because of a delay in diagnosis, and a failure to provide proper supervision, care and treatment. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Health Sciences Centre and two health care workers are named in the suit, however their identities and roles in Childs' care are not specified. In an email to CBC News Paul Turenne, a spokesperson for the health authority, said they will only respond to the claims made by Klassen through the judicial process.
