Canadian family alleges 83-year-old grandmother was euthanized against her will in botched MAiD procedure
Brigitte Stegemann, an 83-year-old Canadian grandmother, died on July 10 under the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program at The Pearl care home in Cannifton, Ontario. Her family alleges she was euthanized against her will, citing her Christian faith and cognitive impairments. The procedure was reportedly botched, with a nurse struggling to insert an IV and causing significant bleeding. Stegemann was pronounced dead ten minutes later. The family has filed complaints with the coroner and police, who are now investigating the incident.
