Minister who's done many overdose funerals loses own son to fentanyl


Article content
Eli Cooley-Morris was baptized in the Downtown Eastside’s landmark First United Church in 1988. He died next door at the Hazelwood Hotel nearly 32 years later, another victim of B.C.’s poisoned drug supply.
His father, Rev. Barry Morris, was the minister at the church when Eli was born. Today, Morris works at the Longhouse Council of Native Ministry in east Vancouver, where in the past year he has presided over about 20 funerals or memorials for drug users, many of them young adults.
