<strong>of</strong> the Inquest<br />

On February 13, 2006 the Provincial Chief Medical Examiner called<br />

an inquest into the death <strong>of</strong> Tracia Owen, age 14 years, <strong>of</strong> Winnipeg, on<br />

August 24, 2005.<br />

The inquest was called under Section 19(1)and Section 19(2) <strong>of</strong> The<br />

Fatality Inquiries Act for the following reasons:<br />

(1) to determine the circumstances under which Ms Owen's death<br />

occurred.<br />

(2) to examine certain social factors (availability <strong>of</strong> "street drugs" and<br />

sexual exploitation <strong>of</strong> youth) that appear to have played a role in her<br />

death.<br />

(3) to determine what action, if any, can be taken to prevent similar deaths<br />

from occurring
