Marlene Bird, the woman who lost her legs after a brutal attack in Prince Albert three years ago, has died.
Two sources — Bird’s victim services worker, Laegan Meyers, as well as Connie Farber, who worked with Bird at the Friendship Centre — tell CTV News she died Monday morning.
Bird was brought to the intensive care unit at Prince Albert’s Victoria Hospital on Nov. 20, according to Meyers. She was hooked up to life support on Friday when Meyers visited.
Bird was severely beaten and lit on fire on June 1, 2014. She was burned so badly that both of her legs had to be amputated.
Leslie Black, the man convicted of attacking Bird, was sentenced to 16 years in prison in September of this year.
--- CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated Marlene Bird died Friday. She died Monday morning.
