A note from our lead Canada researcher:
As high as it is—higher even than the toll in Italy, although Canada has a much smaller population—the weekly toll that we have been recording in these compilations is much lower than it ought to be, due to the terseness of obituaries from some of Canada’s highly multicultural populations. The death notices from those communities are less detailed than those from the general population.
There is a similar void of information in our northern regions. It is extremely difficult to find death notices of any kind for those communities, whose rate of “sudden deaths” may well be hidden. What all this means, in short, is that the true rate of “sudden deaths” in Canada is probably much higher–perhaps five times higher–than the quite high rate that we’ve recorded here.
A note on suicides:
Suicides by young people are up 22% during the pandemic in Canada and 17 other countries (and it’s why we’re including suicides in our compilations):

In Ontario, a cardiologist “died suddenly”:
Reported on October 27:
Robert Ian Gordon “Bob” Brown, 69
October 27, 2023
Anyone who was close to Bob Brown knew that the accomplished cardiologist loved old cheddar, wailing guitars, and Muskoka. To Bob, Muskoka was more than just cottage country; it’s where his family had deep roots. So, in June, when he learned he had advanced cancer and little time left, he resolved, to no one’s surprise, to spend it on Acton Island. One week after leaving his cottage for the last time, Robert Ian Gordon Brown passed away October 26, in London, Ontario, with family by his side. Bob became a pioneer in the emerging field of angioplasty, a non-invasive way of clearing blocked arteries. Patients and colleagues treasured his kindness, his unhurried bedside manner and his straightforward, often colourful way of explaining medical issues. Medpoint will rename its cardiology clinic in his honour. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Kenneth Vernon Stubbings, 61
November 4, 2023
On November 3, 2023, my fella Ken, Kenneth Vernon Stubbings, allowed his body to rest quietly and without suffering, with me by his side. He was 61. Ken was a highly respected member of the Northumberland County staff for 35 years and 10 months (in Ken’s words). He rose to the position of Health Safety Emergency Risk Manager, a position he held for the past 20 years until his retirement at the end of 2022. As an accomplished runner, Ken completed 105 marathons (and several ultra marathons) breaking the challenging 3-hour barrier on many occasions. Carving and running were his two most significant passions. Ken was also an active volunteer in the community assisting with many Northumberland YMCA and running events. I offer my deepest gratitude for the incredible love, support and care from our family and friends. The medical team worked to provide Ken the best treatments and options. Their lead with his extraordinary care, coupled with Ken’s determination, allowed Ken and I to share precious quality time over the summer months.

November 4, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Wilbert Angquiangco on October 31st, 2023, at the age of 66, after his courageous battle with aplastic anemia. Wil was a kind, caring, and down-to-earth man. He loved his family and friends dearly and was always willing to put others before himself. His passion and career as a chef had him touch the hearts and stomachs of many. He was talented and proud of the food he served, but most importantly, he was proud of the people he met and worked with.
From our researcher: Aplastic anemia occurs when your bone marrow doesn't make enough red and white blood cells, and platelets. Having fewer red blood cells causes hemoglobin to drop. Hemoglobin is the part of blood that carries oxygen through your body. Having fewer white blood cells makes you more likely to get an infection.

Roy White, 68
October 29, 2023
On October 25th, 2023, our dear Roy White, at the age of 68, a kind and generous soul, unexpectedly passed away. Roy got ill very suddenly on July 19, 2023, and was taken to emergency on July 24th, with what we thought was a pancreatic cancer. After extensive testing and great care at Brantford General we found out in August that Roy only required a surgery and that he will leave. Unfortunately, this surgery needed to be performed at Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton where he was transferred on September 21 a walking, talking, happy man and Roy went for 30 days through what I call hell due to lack of proper medical care and neglect and hidden sepsis which he picked up during a procedure there which killed all his organs.
From Facebook:
As some of you may already know, my long-time partner passed away suddenly on October 25, 2023. This was not what we had planned for, as he fought for 99 days. Initially, we believed he had cancer, but it turned out he didn't. He spent 35 days at Brantford General, 30 days at home, and the remaining time at Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton, which unfortunately provided him with terrible experiences. There was a sepsis cover-up for 10 days, and what started as a pancreatic mass removal ended with his body deteriorating rapidly. The last time I saw him, his body was leaking from various organs, which were essentially nonfunctional.
