<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
