Family of Harley Lawrence anxious to know what happened

KENTVILLE, N.S. – The brother of a homeless man who died in a bus shelter fire in rural Nova Scotia says his family is anxious to find out what happened to their relative, but respect the police investigation.

Ronald Lawrence said Wednesday that the family is eager to learn what happened to Harley Lawrence, a 62-year-old drifter who died on Oct. 23 in Berwick.

Police say the death is suspicious, but have not released the findings of an autopsy done to determine the cause of death.

Ronald Lawrence says the family tried repeatedly to help him but he often pushed them away and moved on to another community.

He says he believed his older brother had a mental health problem that wasn’t diagnosed, but which seemed to surface when Harley was about 25.
