Security questions at hospitals after man commits suicide

Security in Montreal hospitals is once again in the spotlight after a man commited suicide on Sunday morning.

According to the Montreal Gazette, a 50 year old patient jumped to his death from the 9th floor at Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital.

Police have ruled the death as a suicide and the hospital has opened its own inquiry.

This is the 3rd major incident in Montreal hospitals over the last 3 weeks resulting in the deaths of 3 patients.

Nurses unions are blaming all these incidents on under-staffed departments and over-worked nurses.
