A coroner’s report into the death of a Quebec woman whose body was mistaken for a mannequin says police and firefighters have received training to help them avoid making similar errors.

Laurette Therrien, 64, died in July 2020 after setting herself on fire in a field near a factory in Sherbrooke, Que., 150 kilometres east of Montreal.
