' As assistant Crown attorney Janet Booy put it, the devout Christian woman’s faith had “tainted and warped her better judgment.”
'Peter Wald, 52, died “probably around March 20th” last year, according to the agreed statement of facts read out in court Monday. He’d suffered from diabetes and his left foot had become infected.
But he had refused to go to the hospital and believed God would cure him.

But he had refused to go to the hospital and believed God would cure him.
He went into a coma, she says, and days later she noticed his stomach bloating and signs of rigor mortis on his forehead.
She then left him — his body covered with two blankets, his head with a toque — in the bed and padlocked the bedroom door.
Kaling sealed in the
door and the vents with duct tape to protect her family from the smell
of the cadaver.
And then for six months, life went on and they prayed for their dead husband and father in the bed upstairs as they awaited his return.

It was Sept. 17, 2013 when the body was finally discovered. The sheriff had arrived to evict the family from the St. Matthews Ave. house after they had defaulted on the mortgage.'

She insists, “we lived a normal life. We were clean people.”
She disputes
references in the media that the family was seen chanting in the
backyard and says they were simply putting on religious skits for
homeless people in the neighbourhood.
The family has since
moved to Fort Erie, Ont. With the criminal case behind her, she says she
can finally grieve the loss of her husband and move past the attention
the strange case received.
“It was unusual, yes. It was certainly not normal. And we won’t do that again . . . laws exist and we know that now.”
But she still believes
strongly in resurrection, and says there have been many “documented”
cases of it around the world. Her faith was not shaken by the legal
consequences, she says.'
