The jury has made a number of recommendations following an inquest into the death of an 18-year-old university student in January 2024.

Sidney McIntyre-Starko was 18 years old when she died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in her dorm room at the University of Victoria.

She and her friends had snorted a substance they’d found at the bottom of a box of coolers.
