Joan Seabrook felt “absolute devastation” when she first found out that her 68-year-old mother and 69-year-old father had died by suicide.

“It was a suicide pact,” Seabrook, who lives in London, Ont., said in a recent interview. She still remembers the moment 20 years ago when her sister called to pass on the shocking news about their parents’ deaths from police in Victoria, B.C.

“They weren’t ill, they had no medical issues,” she added. “They lived in British Columbia and everybody else in the family lived in other cities.”
