"VERNA SHABAQUAY"
30X30X.5 INCHES | 1/4" MODERN BIRCH FRAME
Verna Shabaquay, 50, who also went by the last name Simard, fell to her death from the sixth floor of the Regent Hotel in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside on Sept. 16, 2011. The mother of five was in her hotel suite with her boyfriend that night, according to Vancouver police. Her death was initially ruled suspicious by police, but it was later determined that no foul play was involved. Jesse Ranville, Verna’s youngest son, says one person disputed several eyewitness accounts, and that was enough for police to say it was not suspicious.
