Adam Burgoyne Obituary – Adam Burgoyne passed away from an aortic aneurysm after a silent and preventable battle with the condition.
On the cusp of his 40th birthday, Adam’s untimely death has sparked concern and debate about the state of the Canadian healthcare system.
Before his passing, Adam shared his experience on social media, describing a health scare that led him to seek emergency care. While his symptoms were investigated enough to rule out a heart attack, the deeper issue—a life-threatening aortic aneurysm—was missed. Adam wrote:
“Had a bit of a health scare last night, but thankfully it wasn’t a heart attack. Not sure what it was, though, because once they made sure I wasn’t dying, I was thrown out into the waiting room, and 6 hours later, I said fck it and went home.
Canadian health care, folks. Best in the world.”
Tragically, Adam passed away shortly after sharing his frustration and disbelief over his treatment.

Michelle went on to highlight the systemic issues that contributed to Adam’s preventable death, including overburdened emergency rooms, inadequate diagnostic resources, and long wait times.
