Sen. Josee Forest-Niesing, 56, dies after battling COVID-19 and autoimmune condition

TORONTO -- Sen. Josée Forest-Niesing, who recently returned home after being hospitalized for a month due to COVID-19, has died."It is with immense sadness that I learned of the passing of our friend and colleague, the Honourable Josée Forest-Niesing," Senate Speaker George FureyForest-Niesing revealed recently that she had been struggling with an autoimmune condition affecting her lungs for more than 15 years, which made her particularly vulnerable to COVID-19.

Earlier this week, her office stated that she had returned home following a one-month stint in hospital. A statement said she had been warned that her medical condition would reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine, but that she was convinced her fight against COVID-19 "would have been much different" had she not been vaccinated.

Described as a proud Franco-Ontarian, Forest-Niesing had represented Ontario in the Senate since Oct. 11, 2018, after a career practising law in her hometown of Sudbury.
