Chelsea Poorman

The search for a young Indigenous woman has ended in tragedy after her remains were found at a vacant home in Vancouver's Shaughnessy neighbourhood.

They have previously expressed frustration with the police department’s handling of her case. That’s who Chelsea was,” she said, crying. “They don’t even have a cause of death. “When we lived in Saskatoon, she would want to go for a drive so we could make sure people on the street were OK. She wanted to make sure that people on the street were warm and had a place to go. “This is not the outcome anyone wanted. He later told reporters that Chelsea’s skeleton had been found outside the home in a heavily wooded area, and that toxicology and other analysis would not be possible on her remains, but that Vancouver police would be providing “personal details” to the family in the coming days.
