"Vancouver Health Authority Faces Lawsuit Following Senator's Son's Tragic Death"

A lawsuit has been filed against Vancouver Coastal Health after Yuen Pau Woos son tragically died due to alleged negligence at Vancouver General Hospital, raising serious concerns about patient safety.

• Yuen Pau Woo has initiated a lawsuit against Vancouver Coastal Health, claiming negligence after his son was not found for four days following his disappearance from Vancouver General Hospital.
• The civil claim asserts that hospital staff incorrectly assured the family that a search had been conducted, particularly around areas where drug paraphernalia was known to be located.
• Due to the four-day delay in locating the body, it is alleged that Woo’s son received no life-saving treatment, ultimately preventing organ donation and raising questions about mental disorder management.
