Saskatchewan Health Authority is probing the death of a Saskatoon woman awaiting surgery for a broken ankle. The woman, named Kirsten Hanke, had fallen while retrieving a package outside her home on August 12. Her partner, Morgan Kirby, stated that Hanke was scheduled for surgery three days later but it was postponed due to concerns over another required surgery.
Hanke subsequently collapsed at home and died in a hospital, with the family attributing her death to blood clots that originated from her broken ankle, spreading to her lungs.
