A life lost, a person unclaimed and a subsidized apartment frozen in time
from This Matters · host Toronto Star
Guest: Victoria Gibson, Affordable Housing reporter Sometimes even beloved neighbours and friends can slip away unnoticed at life's end, with their memory frozen in time. That's what happened to Charles Parris, 81, of Henry Street in Grange Park. He died at home, remains quietly buried, but worldly belongings remained. For 10 months, his Toronto Community Housing Corp. apartment sat uninhabited despite a raging housing crisis. Such vacancy limbo seems to be connected to another growing problem — an increasing number of unclaimed bodies. Victoria Gibson tells a haunting story on "This Matters." This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques.
