Principal of SDCI Stephanie Hambides issued a statement Monday on the passing of one of her students that was killed last week by three dogs. OPP are still investigating the incident from last Thursday at an address on Gentleman Drive in Southwest Middlesex where 17-year-old Megan Fisher from Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
On Monday, Hambides released the following statement.
“It is with great sadness that the Strathroy District Collegiate Institute community learned of the tragic passing of student Megan Fisher on Friday.”
“A proud member of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Meg loved to learn and will be remembered by those who knew her as a very kind and caring person who always put others first and openly expressed her love for her family, friends, and teachers. Members of Thames Valley’s Traumatic Events Response Team will be available at the school this week to support students and staff at this difficult time. Further information will be shared with the school community as it becomes available.”
A post-mortem examination determined Fisher died as a result of injuries sustained from three dogs on the property.
