Terry died of a heart attack inside her central Hamilton apartment on July 10, waiting for paramedics to save her. No one in her family knew it then, but Terry had called for help while the city was in the midst of a "code zero" event. Mario Posteraro, president of Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 256, which represents Hamilton paramedics, predicted earlier this month that someone was going to die during a code zero event. Code zero incidents are once again rising in Hamilton. City statistics show that up to the end of August, Hamilton had 79 code zero incidents, 19 more than all of last year.
