A 911-year-old Montrealer died while waiting for an ambulance for 7 hours, not considered a 911 priority, and her son called for help and saw her in agony.
Therese Partiak collapsed yesterday while her son and daughter-in-law were out for dinner.
Her fall prevented her from lifting her leg, and the woman started vomiting, and the couple decided to call for help. “Don’t move her anymore, an ambulance is coming, but it will be a few hours,” they were told.

After waiting for more than 7 hours before paramedics arrived, the woman died.
In the last few minutes I told her, ‘It’s going to be okay!’ Saying that, I rubbed her, checked her legs, checked the color of her legs, just like they told me,” explained her daughter-in-law, Jezebel Bourque.
Ms. Borg called 911 every hour for 7 consecutive hours, as shown in this screenshot of her cell phone.
And if that’s not enough, we’re going to leave the body out for another 7 hours because the coroner has started an inquest.
“But there it starts at 6, 7 in the morning. Me, I have the sun in front of me and it goes on my balcony. Don’t come and piss me off with your investigators, my mother is dead! ” his son Mark Bourque fumed.
When asked by dva nouvelles, Stephen Smith of Urgenz-Sande said he had died of leg pain and offered his condolences to the victim’s family.

“She was the one who founded the Parents-Secures movement to help children. My mother was called Therese. They called her Mother Teresa. It’s just… My mother was never pretty,” her son recalled.
