Ever wonder what happens after a single person dies in their unit/apt! Usually a neighbor, family or friend would notice something is odd and call the authorities to check on the tenant. In the summer of 2015 at the UNH’s men’s residence located in west Hamilton a tenant died in their room. What’s shocking UNH’s management found his body six weeks later, by that time the body is mostly liquefied and the stench would knock over a horse. How did this happen? Here’s my question: why did the UNH’s on-premise staff not notice the tenant is missing and ignored the clues of death. I hope whoever was responsible for keeping an eye on the tenants and building were reprimanded or better still dismissed.
There are those who believe UNH’s management arranged a
cover up by an all-out fully paid Native funeral ceremony, which includes native
drumming, songs, food and made all the staff attend in hopes the family of the
deceased will not file legal action against the UNH’s organization. I’m sure there is a police report on this mishap,
it’s not a criminal matter it’s more towards irresponsibility and neglect. With all the news lately about missing
aboriginal women in Canada what about the men! Did the male tenant deserve to be lying on the floor rotting away after
death!….Of course not. Let's hope UNH’s learn
from their mistake and stop fucking up.
I remember many years
ago I lived in an apt building in east Hamilton with a proper air ventilation
system. One day I noticed a strange odor
in my apt. I traced the smell from the air vent. A few days later there was commotion from the
hallway it was two people wearing white full body contamination suits with masks while pulling a
gurney. Later after talking to the
building manager she explained a tenant died in their apt. The tenant’s been dead for a week and the
odor was from his decomposing body. Let me say
the smell is the worst, to this day I would recognize it immediately.
UNH’s is an empty shell of their former stature. Soon UNH’s head office will be cramped in the
KMHC basement complete with one washroom. I’ll bet the community room will
no longer be available to KMHC tenants, I mean where else can UNH’s have their
mundane meetings. Personally it doesn’t
matter to me I don’t attend programs and when I do enter the community room
it’s to say hello to my fellow tenants then off I go.
