Police have confirmed the body discovered in Sturgeon Creek Wednesday is Catherine Curtis. An official identification was made by the medical examiner on Friday.

The 60-year-old's death is prompting reviews of Grace Hospital's policies surrounding mental health patients.

Curtis lived with anxiety and depression and was an inpatient at the Grace. She was last seen walking out the front door 11 days ago.

"Mrs. Curtis was under our care and mattered greatly to us," said Grace Hospital COO Kellie O'Rourke.

O'Rourke said Curtis was allowed to go on unescorted walks, a decision made by her treatment team. She said an internal review shows all protocols in this case were followed, a finding backed by Patient Safety Manitoba.

But the Grace has requested a review of its policies be done by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, as well.

"We remain open to any learning that may come from it and if there were any changes required, we would be working to implement those immediately," said O'Rourke.

Manitoba's new health minister said he's also investigating to see if any changes are necessary.

"We'll look at the protocol and see if it was followed and whether or not it's the proper protocol," said Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen.

The health authority is already doing a review of mental health services and hospitals; this, after Reid Bricker was discharged alone from Health Sciences Centre in the middle of the night last year.

He has never been found.

Bricker's mom says he was suicidal. Bonnie Bricker says policies aren't the problem, more training, mental health support staff, nurses and psychiatrists are needed in hospitals.

"Our health care professionals are absolutely outnumbered," said Bonnie Bricker.
