''Police in Labrador are investigating the death Tuesday of Inuk writer and advocate for Indigenous women Diem Saunders, formerly known as Delilah Saunders.

Saunders was the sibling of Loretta Saunders, an Inuk woman from Labrador who was murdered in Halifax in 2014.

Loretta's murder prompted Diem to become an advocate for Indigenous women, and Diem was among the first to speak during the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Diem Saunders was also part of the Indigenous fight against the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador and took part in hunger strikes against the project, which flooded swaths of Indigenous land''

''RCMP are investigating after the sudden death of a 29-year-old whose body was found in a home in Happy Valley-Goose Bay yesterday.

Diem Saunders, formerly known as Delilah Saunders, was the sister of Loretta Saunders who was murdered in Halifax in 2015 by a couple who were subletting her apartment.

Saunders was an outspoken advocate for justice for Loretta and was an active participant in protests seeking fairness for Indigenous people living downstream from the Muskrat Falls project.

Police say residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area of Mesher Street as the investigation continues.

The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office is also involved in the ongoing investigation.''

Sadly noting this thread for Diem's sister.

Diem Saunders (as Delilah) was in the news back in Dec 2017. She was refused a transplant because she wasn't "sober" for 6 months.

There is a video of her in hospital, explaining Tylenol overuse in remote communities.

Nearest town, Goose Bay, hosted passengers after 911. Popular Mayor John Hickey died after an inexplicable hunting accident.
