Eva Samonas, a 73-year-old woman from Toronto, has been found guilty of manslaughter, failing to provide the necessaries of life, and criminal negligence in the death of her 96-year-old mother, Vasiliki Atanasovski. The Superior Court of Justice, led by Justice Jane Kelly, determined that Samonas neglected her legal duty as the primary caregiver, leaving her mother unattended on the floor for three days following a fall. During this time, Atanasovski, who suffered from dementia, was found in a filthy home environment, exhibiting severe injuries including a deep pressure ulcer. The court noted that Samonas had previously contacted emergency services for her mother but failed to do so in this instance, despite being aware of her mother’s frailty. Following the incident, Atanasovski was transported to Michael Garron Hospital, where she died the next day. The cause of death was linked to complications from prolonged immobility. Crown attorneys are requesting a pre-sentence report and may seek a mental health assessment for Samonas, who expressed shock at the verdict and maintained that her mother did not want hospital care. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for August.
