The body of a 90-year-old man was left to sit in a hot Toronto parking lot for hours after he was struck and killed by a truck earlier this week, sparking outrage and questions over the body removal process.

“There are several investigative partners involved when a fatality occurs and it is incumbent that each stage of an investigation is completed thoroughly and properly,” said Stephanie Rea, issues manager at the coroner’s office, after Global News reached out to the Ontario coroner’s office about the incident.

“The Office of the Chief Coroner makes every effort to complete scene investigations in a timely manner, though there are factors that can effect time of transfer. We are reviewing to ensure proper processes were followed.”
