BURRARDVIEW ELEMENTARY school teacher Diane Turkington, away from school on maternity leave, got a musical
surprise Thursday when the school choir and fellow teachers massed on her front lawn to serenade her with Christmas
carols. Choir leader Ann Bergeron (nearest camera) kept things in key.

Botulism was
cause of death

IT WAS botulism poisoning
— and not magic mushrooms
as was originally believed —
that led to the death of a
15-year-old North Vancouver
resident in October.

Coroner lan Marshall con-
cluded his investigation into
the death of the boy, and an-
nounced his findings after
meeting with the family
Thursday.

The source of the botulism
poison was ‘“‘non-commercial
smoked salmon,’’ eaten 34
hours before the Oct. 29
death according to coroner
Marshall.

Initial reports suggested
the youth may have ingested
so-called magic mushrooms
prior to his death, but that
has been ruled out.
