what i'd like to know is WHY the mainstream news has not picked this story up yet???

Conflicting stories. Tim's said they did close and offer to send employees home. OP says the opposite. Either way it's very sad someone lost their life.

This...Some-one died and thier family has been devesated(sp?) as has thier collegues.

How the initial incident was handled is stilll up for debate. There are Many sides to the story. we will have the ones from the family, the ones from the other staff members, ones from disgruntled customers, ones from the first responders..etc..

Trial by the internet tends to want a black or white answer while in reality there are a whole host of grey shades of the truth out there.

I've had quite the hunt & can find her obituary in a number of locations. It states that she died in the hospital, but that could just be a formality (http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announ...n-vickers.html)

Don't get me wrong, sometimes stories have a way of being blown completely out of proportion depending on who is telling it, and since the news hasn't touched the story since her passing listed as October 1st, it's hard to say what is fact & what is embellishment.

Honestly, I think the first responders would have taken her to hospital. They wouldn't have left her body on a Tim Horton's floor. Besides if they did, the store would have absolutely closed as it would require a number of people including a coroner, police ect.... I'm sure even if they couldn't revive her the paramedics took her to the hospital. They don't just declare you dead after a few rounds of CPR and then walk away. She likely wasn't declared dead until she got to the hospital. Truthfully, I can't imagine any of my employers closing in that sort of situation. Closing for the funeral is a nice gesture.

Why were they deleting the FB posts before this ?

I guess when it became a big story , thet started back peddaling and started pretending that , they actually care

Looks like Tim's might be just doing some damage control and PR , after the story became big..not sure
