Family of plasma donor who died calls for investigation over record inconsistencies
The family of Rodiyat Alabede, a young woman who died after donating plasma, is calling for an investigation due to inconsistencies in reports regarding her death. Health Canada and Manitoba's chief medical examiner have stated that her death did not result from the plasma donation process. However, the family believes conflicting information warrants further scrutiny.
- ▪Rodiyat Alabede, a 22-year-old student, died shortly after donating plasma in Winnipeg.
- ▪Health Canada found systemic deficiencies at Grifols' collection centres following her death.
- ▪The cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest, with an autopsy noting she had an enlarged heart.
