Municipal leaders in Mississauga are urging the federal government to provide support for asylum claimants following the death of an asylum claimant at an encampment outside of a shelter in Mississauga.
According to Peel Regional Police, officers responded to reports of a sudden death at an encampment on Dundas Street East, just east of Dixie Road, on Wednesday morning.
A man in his 40s was found inside the tent without vital signs and was pronounced dead.
Mayor Patrick Brown of Brampton called for immediate action to prevent further deaths as cold weather approaches.
“I don’t normally call people together spur of the moment, heartbreaking knowing there will be more deaths,” Brown said.
