This follows the appointment of David Musyj as supervisor at the end of September in the midst of the resignation of all members of the board of directors.
In May, Musyj took a leave of absence as president and CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) to become the acting president and CEO of LHSC.

London police took to social media, releasing their own statement on the investigation.
