A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to four years in prison, less eight months spent in pre-sentence custody, after pleading guilty to criminal negligence causing death in the 2025 death of a 39-year-old woman, CTV News Windsor reports. An agreed statement of fact sets out that he sold her two doses of fentanyl on May 14, 2025, for $50 each, paid by e-transfer, that a third person was present, and that both of them consumed the drugs. About six hours later, the outlet reports, her boyfriend found her unresponsive in a chair, attempted CPR and called 911; paramedics tried to save her and she was pronounced dead at Erie Shores HealthCare.

Legal status: Sentenced. The man pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death and was sentenced to four years in prison, less eight months of pre-sentence custody.

The Guilty Plea and the Sentence

CTV News Windsor reports that the man pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death and was sentenced to four years in prison, less the eight months he spent in pre-sentence custody. The outlet published the report on November 11 at 4:42 p.m. EST and updated it at 6:02 p.m.

What the Agreed Statement of Fact Sets Out

CTV News Windsor quotes an agreed statement of fact. According to that document, as the outlet reports it, the man sold the woman two doses of fentanyl on May 14, 2025, at $50 each, paid by e-transfer, and a third person was present when the sale was made. Both the woman and the man consumed the drugs. The statement describes the sale as trafficking fentanyl to her for consumption, the outlet reports.

About six hours later, the outlet reports, the woman’s boyfriend found her unresponsive in a chair, tried CPR and called 911. Paramedics attempted to save her and she was pronounced dead at Erie Shores HealthCare. An autopsy attributed her death to “synergistic drug intoxication involving fentanyl and methamphetamine,” and toxicology found fentanyl in her blood “well above commonly reported fatal concentrations,” in the wording CTV News Windsor quotes.

The agreed statement of fact says he “showed a wanton and reckless disregard for the life and safety of another person,” the outlet reports, and that he knew the risks of fentanyl use. The woman, whom the report describes as known to him “through the local drug subculture,” is not named.

The man pleaded guilty, so the conviction and the sentence reported here follow from his own plea rather than from a contested trial. The facts set out above are those of the agreed statement of fact that CTV News Windsor quotes. No gang or criminal organization has been named in connection with this case.
