Calls for accountability after Ontario man died, when his 911 call for help was ignored
Description
September 7, 2026
A family in Ontario has been calling for accountability for years, following the death of Ralph Buerger, from Welland, Ont. The 59-year-old man was having a heart attack and couldn’t speak when the emergency call connected. The 911 operator ultimately categorized the interaction as a “silent call,” choosing not to initiate a wellness check. Global’s Sean O’Shea reports.
