A tragic death happened this weekend.

Occupy Vancouver protesters say they will not be peacefully removed from the lawn of the city’s art gallery following the death of a demonstrator.

An official cause of death of the woman in her 20s has not been released, but a worker with the tent city says it was a drug overdose, the second in three days, although the first was not fatal.

The woman, whose name has not been released, was found unresponsive in her tent at around 5 p.m. PT on Saturday and taken to hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. There was nothing to indicate her death was suspicious, police said.
