Cops at first said the fire seemed suspicious but then concluded it was an accident. They couldn't ID the victim though.

any other details though? what do they think accidentally started the fire? a cigarette? a hotplate? what?

did they reveal the sex of the victim? since they could figure at least that out from the dna.

Ontario to double fines for medical record privacy breaches

Workers at several hospitals accessed the health records of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford.

"It is often the high-profile cases and individuals by the nature of the breach that may get more attention," said Hoskins. "I don't want to speak to the specifics that are being investigated and may be prosecuted."

Hoskins said the new legislation will double fines for violations of patients' privacy to $100,000 for individuals and $500,000 for the hospital or organization. It would also scrap a rule requiring that prosecutions start within six months of the alleged privacy breach, which Hoskins called "a serious barrier" to prosecuting offenders.

"That has made it extremely difficult to conduct an investigation and has made prosecutions very rare," he said.

Only three cases of breaching private medical records have ever been referred for prosecution, and there has never been a successful prosecution under the Personal Health Information Protection Act since it was introduced in 2004. One case was unsuccessful and the two others are still under consideration by the Attorney General's office.

Will be known as the "Little Robbie Ford" Act. The law to end all laws based on reacting to celebrity/notoriety.

Will be known as the "Little Robbie Ford" Act. The law to end all laws based on reacting to celebrity/notoriety.

Section 1: It shall be illegal to disclose information about a person, unless an utterly incomplete, grossly distorted, wildly exaggerated, totally fabricated or otherwise inaccurate version of that information has been bellowed into CP20Ford microphones in a strangulated voice by a sibling of the person, provided always that the person and the sibling are both attention whores.

That's the problem with promoting yourself as a "rock star", you get treated like one when privacy is concerned.

The big boon of this law would be protection from private data sold to the highest bidder, usually for targeted services.

I read "big boon" as "big baboon". Oh, this thread.

You sneer, but it's a big problem. An employee at Rouge Valley Hospital was selling maternity ward records to investment brokers who would then use them as leads to sell RESPs to new mothers.

And that's just what we know about. Who knows how many other cases like this there are?

What I am aiming for is the "Doug Ford, Jr." Act.

Section 1: This Act may be cited as the Act to Suppress Horse Shit.

Section 2: No person whose spouse claims to be "judesque" shall be taken in the least seriously.

Section 3: No person who has more than two offspring whose names begin with the letter K shall be accorded even common courtesy.

Section 3: No person any of whose siblings is an ignorant, unintelligent, mean spirited liar shall be admitted to any pubic office.

You are right Kat, but that was not the primary rationale put forward by the Hon. Member (as I read it). That was my point (I hoped).

Your doubt is well founded here Evva. The Ontario Fire Marshall is steeped in the latest science. They can reconstruct nearly any scenario. The fact that its inconclusive is telling in itself.
