Man Dies at B.C. Ostrich Farm Protest Camp

The man was found unresponsive amid protests against an avian flu-related ostrich cull, with police confirming no suspicious circumstances and an ongoing coroner investigation.

  • Police said a death occurred Monday at the Universal Ostrich Farms protest camp in Edgewood, B.C., and RCMP stated there is nothing to suggest the death is suspicious.
  • Tensions originate from a BC court case over a cull ordered by BC provincial health authorities after avian flu was found among the Edgewood ostrich flock, prompting a protest camp and an appeal scheduled for Nov. 6.
  • Nakusp RCMP said officers and paramedics administered chest compressions but could not revive him; the BC Coroners Service has taken custody while RCMP supports the investigation.
  • The incident sent shock through Edgewood, a hamlet of about 235 residents, and drew online tributes while a U.S. billionaire renewed calls to move the ostriches to Florida.
  • Supporters noted the man had been at the protest camp for months, and the Canadian Press first published this report on Nov. 4, 2025.
