The family of an 83-year-old Ontario woman alleges that she received Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) against her wishes, despite telling relatives two days earlier that a mistake had been made.
Brigitte Stegemann, known to her family as GG, reportedly died on 10 July 2026 in a long-term care home after receiving MAID. Her granddaughter, Brigitte Kranendonk, says she held power of attorney for her grandmother and disputes that Stegemann was capable of consenting or that she consented on the morning of the procedure.
