The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has announced it will undergo an external review of the hospital’s procedures for issuing passes and granting privileges to forensic patients.
On Monday, Toronto police confirmed a 27-year-old man who went missing that morning was a patient at CAMH. The patient was found later the same day. “We don’t have information on how he was able to leave the country,” Dr. Zahn told reporters Wednesday. Police Chief Mark Saunders said Thursday that Toronto police would perform a full investigation into Mr. Cong’s disappearance, as well as an internal department review.
