Tragic euthanasia death of young man with mental illness

The following message was sent out by Margaret Marsilla on her facebook about the tragic death of her son, Kiano by euthanasia by Dr Ellen Wiebe. Kiano was living with mental illness. Support Bill C-218. Say No to MAiD for Mental Illness (Link).

Please offer Margaret your condolences. Her facebook message is below

With a broken heart, I am sharing that my baby boy Kiano passed away on December 30, 2025, after being euthanized.

Four years ago, here in Ontario, we were able to stop his euthanasia and get him some help. He was alive because people stepped in when he was vulnerable and not capable of making a final, irreversible decision.
Tragically, the Canadian system later allowed something very different to happen in Vancouver—where a doctor named DR ELLEN WIEBE AKA DR DEATH #2 approved his death based on mental illness. This approval occurred despite euthanasia for mental illness being banned until 2027. Somehow, DR DEATH #2 found a loophole in the system, one that now demands to be exposed so that no other parent has to endure this.
This is disgusting on every level. And I promise I will fight this tooth and nail for my son and other parents who too have children that suffer from mental illness.
As a mother and after watching and reading countless stories from other families, I can say this experience was not only devastating, but deeply disturbing. The actions of DR ELLEN WIEBE reveal a pattern of coldness and disregard for vulnerable human life that I can no longer stay silent about, just that scary smile shows her entitlement for taking peoples lives…..
No compassion.
No protection.
No effort to save a life, only to end it.
This is not healthcare.
This is a failure of ethics, accountability, and humanity.
No parent should ever have to bury their child because a system—and a doctor—chose death over care, help, or love.
In time, I intend to pursue accountability against DR ELLEN WIEBE and to stand alongside other families and associations who have been harmed by these same decisions. I know we are not alone.
Right now, we are making arrangements for my son’s funeral this Saturday Jan 10. Details will be shared once finalized.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our family, prayed for us, and stood by us through all these years of pain and hope. Please keep our family in your prayers during this unbearable time 😭😭💔💔
Margaret & Joe

Dr. Ellen Wiebe is a psychopath and should be stopped.

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss, and the horrible way that it happened. I hope you get justice for your boy, and may the Lord direct your steps as you pursue that end. Just know, “Dr” Wiebe will face justice, one way or another, in this life or the next. She will not get away with it. May you be comforted as you mourn and trust that vengeance belongs to the Lord.

So very tragic! Dr. Wiebe is a murderer and will some day stand before God in judgement, but until then, you're right to fight and to bring litigation against this wicked women. I'm very sorry for your loss!

How do we help?

How do we help? This is evil. My son has mental illness, one year he is great, others not so much. I would be devastated especially because he has stability in between and doesn't always make the best decisions when he is not stable. My heart breaks for this young man and his family.

'Psycho' what? I rather think that this doctor is a murderer!

My most sincere condolences, Margaret and Joe. Having lost a family member not long ago to suicide, I know how devastating that was. Your loss is one level more tragic, that a “doctor” would participate. May God comfort you and bring justice.

This is the evil person who smirked in interviews indicating that MAID was her “ best work “. Tragically this young man fell into her clutches !!

My heart goes out to you…….how utterly devastating💔 I pray for true justice in this situation.
Dr. Wiebe is pure evil. Her cohort (I’ve blocked her name from my memory) euthanized my MIL last August. Met with her Thursday afternoon around 1:30 and she was dead at 10:30 the next morning. She was a bit unwell but was not terminal and the end of her life was not imminent. Soon it will be the number one cause of death in Canada.

My sincere condolences to you and your family! This a very sad and disturbing time for our country! A country that would rather eliminate people than help them get through their illness. We must demand change and justice.

Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law and work on having laws the protect life.

Alex Schadenberg said...

The problem is that all protections in the law were gutted with the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Margaret states that this should never happen again. In fact this should never happen.

This is so disturbing. No parent should lose a child this way. This woman and l can’t call her doctor should be exposed for what she is, definitely a psychopath. Dear mother l offer my condolences and may God give you strength to fight this evil woman.

This is murder. A doctor with a heart of stone would not see it as such because the government has created this murky loophole for such a doctor to proceed without consequence to their profession. Truly evil behavior. Government and professionals should and must be held accountable.

She is a Serial Killer in plain sight. Are we nuts in Canada

I’m so sorry for your loss. The MAID program is becoming the leading cause of death in canada, I believe it’s the 5th cause as of now. Disgusting that this is really any option for individuals with mental health problems especially in today’s society when it’s completely set up to make us all unhappy. I will pray for your family to find peace as well as your son.

Meghan Schrader said...

That poor mother. She tried so hard to get her son (and of course I empathize with the son’s mental illness). It’s heartbreaking to know that another family has been shattered by that evil witch.

Having lost a son only 5 months ago with undiagnosed heart disease at 41i cannot imagine the extra depth of grief you are going through because of this utterly vile act by a vile system. I know nothing of your family's trials but I do now know grief and words can't begin to say how sorry I am that you are now in this journey. It is hard and I can only pray for Gods grace as you walk through this. No one wants this journey and I'm so sorry you are in it.

It Is Disgusting Policies, Laws And "Professionals" In Society WHO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO KILL PEOPLE!!! NOBODY REGARDLESS OF ANY ILLNESS SHOULD EVER BE BULLIED TO BE KILLED!!! SOCIETY IS ALREADY AT A VERY BAD STATE AND THINGS NEED TO CHANGE, NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO WORRY THAT THEIR FRIENDS, FAMILY, OR LOVED ONES ARE GOING TO BE KILLED BY DOCTORS & THE GOVERNMENT REGARDLESS OF CONDITION EVEN IF THEY ARE THE END OF THEIR LIFE, THAT IS NOBODY'S RIGHT TO KILL, THE ONLY RIGHT IS TO HELP AND HELPING DOES NOT INCLUDING KILLING OR ABUSE, OR HARM!!! THESE KILLING LAWS OF EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE ALL NEED TO STOP BECAUSE IT MAKING SOCIETY WORSE AND MAKING MORE PEOPLE SUFFER!!! THIS EVIL NEEDS TO STOP AND I HOPE TO GOD THAT GOD WILL PROVIDE THIS FAMILY THE RESOURCES, ASSISTANCE, AND POWER TO MAKE POSITIVE MEANINGFUL CHANGES TO THIS CRAZINESS THAT NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE AND I AM SOOO SORRY FOR THEIR LOSS---THIS IS SENSELESS TO HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS AND I HOPE THERE CAN BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AMONGST LOTS OF PEOPLE TO STOP THESE INSANE LAWS, BILLS, POLICIES, BECAUSE THE BELIEF AND IDEA OF KILLING IS COMPLETELY WRONG!!! IT ADDS NOW MORE SUFFERING KNOWING THAT LIVES ARE LOST BECAUSE OF CRAZY DEATH CULTS!!!
