2019年1月，加拿大华裔女警Nicole Chan 自杀身亡。她在死前曾指控与两名上司有不适当男女关系。

近日，Chan的家人提出诉讼，他们认为女儿的死并非意外与上司有关。被告包括温哥华市和BC省政府、温哥华警察局VPD，以及两名涉事前警官。

根据BC省警察投诉专员办公室（OPCC）的调查，其中一名涉案警官David Van Patten在担任温哥华警方人力资源部官员时和Chan发生过不正当关系；另一名警官Greg McCullough也与Chan发生过关系。

其中Van Patten在Chan去世一年后因行为不端被解雇，Greg McCullough被罚停职15天后自请离职。

诉讼中称，Van Patten和Greg McCullough在Chan被聘为初级警官时，利用职权对她进行了性骚扰、性侵犯和恐吓。

此外，警察局、董事会和工会，未能创造一种安全的工作文化和政策，放任高级警官的“应受谴责行为”持续多年。

Nicole和McCullough与2015年开始地下恋情，当时两人都已婚，McCullough要求Chan对他们之间的关系保密。

2016年，Chan因工作关系接触了Van Patten。此后Van Patten一直给她发短信调情，并在一次工作旅途中强迫Chan发生性关系。

后来Van Patten发现Chan与McCullough之前的不正当关系，并以此来威胁Chan。要求继续与Chan发生性关系。

据Chan的家人透漏，Chan生前就饱受精神健康和抑郁症困扰，在与两名警官发生关系前，Chan在2012年就曾企图自杀。

妹妹Jenn Chan表示，姐姐这种胁迫关系让她遭受严重的精神困扰。

2019年1月27日，年仅31岁的Chan结束了自己的生命。

自杀前，陈于2017年曾向警察局举报自己和两名上司的不正当关系，但随后被安排了压力休假。

包括Chan的母亲在内的原告们正在寻求损害赔偿，包括丧失生活意义和收入支持、精神伤害和神经冲击。声称“Nicole的自杀是由被告造成或促成的”。

被告方目前未提交辩护陈述。
