Tracy Nicole Bird, 36, a homeless woman, was
found dead in La Ronge Feb. 27, CBC reports. Police say the death is not
considered suspicious. Bird’s body was found in a wooded area of the town.
Street workers speculate she may have died of exposure as temperatures dipped
to –30 C. Bird suffered from alcohol addition, and her health problems were
complicated by burn injuries to half her body from a 2006 fire. A 12-year-old
girl had lit Bird on fire while she was sleeping. A funeral will be held in
Bird’s home community of Montreal Lake First Nation.
