An Ottawa mother says she鈥檚 obtained a judge鈥檚 order to gain access to her late son鈥檚 social media accounts, in hopes of finding something that will shed light on the circumstances of his mysterious death.
Dovi Henry, 23, was last in contact with his family in April 2014, three months before his body was pulled from a Toronto marina on Lake Ontario. The body wasn鈥檛 identified until late 2016, and since then, his mother Maureen has been trying to find leads about the circumstances of his death.
鈥淒ovi was an active social media junkie,鈥� she told CTV News Channel on Wednesday. 鈥淗e was always texting, taking pictures, talking to friends, (and) sending messages.鈥�
Dovi鈥檚 active life on social media prompted Maureen to seek access to his various accounts, thinking that perhaps something he said to a friend will reveal what happened in the final days before his death.
鈥淚鈥檓 believing that he was in communication with different friends who possibly will know what happened,鈥� she said.
Maureen says she contacted Google, Facebook and Dovi鈥檚 cellphone provider, but they wouldn鈥檛 grant her access to her son鈥檚 accounts without a court order. She obtained that court order on Wednesday, and is looking forward to serving it to the applicable companies.
Dovi Henry was from Ottawa but was attending the University of Toronto at the time of his death. Maureen says he came home at one point early in 2014 because of what he called 鈥渟ome troubles鈥� in Toronto, but he went back to school a short time later.
Maureen says the last her family heard from him, he was planning to visit home for his 23rd birthday.
鈥淗e said he was feeling lonely (in March),鈥� she said. 鈥淎t one point鈥� he got upset or angry at something and then he left, and that was the last time that I spoke to him.鈥�
