In his report, coroner Steeve Poisson maintains that the death of Suzanne Poirier, 61, is attributable to “a probable drowning, with or without an added component of environmental hypothermia”.
But he does not comment on what would have caused his fall which occurred very early on January 28.
The bank was steep where the victim allegedly fell, she had not left a letter or made a recent suicidal declaration, and had “contusions to her lower limbs that could have been caused by a fall.”
Ms. Poirier also had the habit of walking in the early morning, specifies the coroner.
Background
On the other hand, the 60-year-old had a history of suicide, mental health, and drug and alcohol intoxication.
“I cannot rule on a voluntary gesture,” indicates Mr. Poisson in his report dated September 13. For these reasons, I rule that this is a death of undetermined intent.”

The coroner also noted the presence of alcohol in significant quantities in his blood and “the absence of evidence of third party intervention”.
The body of Suzanne Poirier was found in the afternoon after her dog, with whom she had taken a walk in the morning, returned home alone.
She could not be resuscitated after being taken to hospital.
At the time, the SQ mentioned that this tragedy seemed accidental.
