A beloved man who was a fixture on the streets of Montreal s Notre-Dame-de-Grace neighbourhood died last year from a combination of street drugs in his system, including fentanyl, a coroner has ruled.
He spent much of his life homeless, and in his final years, Sean Abbott glued himself to a busy intersection in Montreal s Notre-Dame-de-Grace neighborhood. News of his death in late September sent shockwaves through the community. Many gathered for vigils, charity drives, and others shared stories online. Now, a month after his death, his memory is still alive for many who live in Montreal s west end, where he found his community.
