Laval police say a former doctor is facing a manslaughter charge after an 84-year-old patient died following a 2019 surgery.
Isabelle Desormeau was arrested March 30 and released under conditions and a promise to appear for her arraignment on April 21.
Police say the 52-year-old Desormeau faces one count of manslaughter in connection with the death of the patient on Nov. 1, 2019, at Cité-de-la-Santé hospital in Laval, Que., a Montreal suburb.
Authorities say Desormeau was the anesthetist at the time of the surgery.
Quebec’s college of physicians says Desormeau quit the profession in December 2019.
Laval police are asking anyone with information about the accused or the incident to contact them….
