MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (cP) _ — With a.roaw of shrouded bodies spread in-i neat arc behind. him, coroner Dr. ‘Kevin Flynn conducted a grim news conference early | today to describe what little chance the 21 elderly victims had when fire tore through a nursing home Monday. . Flynn ‘said ail those killed, many of whom were crip- led, senile and unable to k after themselves, died of smoke inhalation . atid -garbun- monoxide poisoning, “With . carbon-monoxide poitoning, the average * (length of time 8 pérson can | survive; is five. to 10 minutes,” he said inside the Huron Park Recreation Centre hockey rink, which had been turned intoa make- shift morgue. “When - coupled with smoke inhalation and the’ general condition ‘of these patients I'd be very. suur- prised if any survived for five minutes.” ‘The coroner, clad in sailed” jeans, T-shirt: and sandals, said there will be an inquiry into the blaze and it will likely try to determine why - patients requiring acute care | -were placed on the top floor of the three- storey facility. ‘our responsibility to other nursing homes is elear. .
