A $16 million lawsuit has been filed in the death of Stephanie Warriner, a 43-year-old mother of five who never regained consciousness 16 days after physical interaction with Toronto General Hospital Security guards who confronted her because she had her face mask pulled down under her chin, reportedly because she was having trouble breathing.
The lawsuit was filed in September 2022 by Warriner’s sister Denise, but was only recently served against five security guards and the University Health Network. The claim alleges the guards used “excessive” and “unreasonable” force in an “aggressive manner, contrary to their training,” and “acted with reckless disregard for the life of Stephanie.”
