Delphina Ngigi, a Kenyan asylum seeker died just three days after she landed in Canada.
Delphina arrived at a Greater Toronto Area shelter at 1767 Dundas Street E. at about 1 p.m. on Feb. 17 and was forced to wait outside in the cold for hours, before she was let into the lobby at about 8 p.m.
Delphina spent the night there and collapsed when she was taking a shower in the shelter the next day. She was taken to hospital shortly afterwards, was still awake and conscious at 2 p.m., but died there just after 4:30 p.m. Her cause of death has not yet been released.
Delphina, 46, was a widowed mother to four children, all still in Kenya.
Delphina is the second asylum seeker to have died in a roughly three-month span. In November, another asylum seeker, a Nigerian man, died outside of the same shelter.
