Missing New Westminster mom Florence Leung found dead (http://www.theprovince.com/news/local+news/missing+westminster+florence+leung+found+dead/12395990/story.html)
A missing 32-year-old mother from New Westminster has been found deceased, according to a post on a Facebook page set up to help find her.
On the ‘Find Missing Mother Florence Leung’ Facebook page, a statement released Wednesday night reads:
It is with great sadness to tell everyone that Florence Leung has been found. Police notified husband Kim Chen and family earlier today of the discovery. We ask that everyone at the moment respect the family’s privacy and we will release more details as they become available. We thank you all for your prayers, love and support at this very difficult time.

Florence was last seen on the morning of Tuesday, October 25th when she left her New West home. A surveillance video discovered a few days later showed Florence buy several items from a convenience store in Vancouver’s West End.
Her vehicle was discovered in Stanley Park the day after she went missing, but North Shore Rescue later suspended its search after thoroughly combing through the surrounding areas, including parts of West Vancouver.
Leung, the mother of a two-month-old boy, was thought to have been suffering from post-partum depression.
Her husband Kim Chen had said he and Florence were very happy as they awaited the birth of their first child.
“We were married for two years. We always wanted to have children and build a family. And everything was perfect, everything was bliss,” he said.
Police have yet to confirm her death.

Been all over my facebook since she went missing. Pretty sad story. I've faced pretty severe depression but not like that. I can't even imagine what her family is going through, and what her final hours were like. RIP BibleThump

When the search and rescue team decided to stop their work after finding the car abandoned in Stanley Park, this is pretty much the result everyone was expecting as well as hoping against.
It is so incredibly sad. With the discovery and confirmation of the body, however, I can only hope it makes things a bit easier for the family to find closure.

Incredibly sad. The thought of a new mother's mind being tormented with intense depression that eventually lead to her death pulls a bit on my heartstrings. In a 2 year period went from bliss to tragedy. RIP

I really wonder what exactly lead to this. PPD is not uncommon but 2 years of happy life leading up to the birth of the child and went downhill so quickly in two months? How tragic and I feel sorry for the kid who'll never see his/her mom.

The family looked well off, so it's not hard to imagine a newborn throwing a damper into their lives. I know this first hand - PPD isn't something to mess around with.
Just sad. RIP.

ok, I read the 8 page thread and associated links (yes it's a slow day at the office) I'm still confused. What does this have to do with anything here? Is Dinosaur the wife and Gridlock the husband?
:fulloffuck:
p.s. I'd like the last 1/2 hour of my life back pls.

very sad story. RIP. :tears:
Mental health is just as important as physical health. There's been an 8 week campaign at my workplace. "Not Myself Today" campaign.
I didn't realize that there are many resources in the private and public sector which are available who are facing mental health issues like depression in their lives, either at work or outside of work.
-won a Color therapy anti stress coloring book to help improve my mental health. :D

Is Dinosaur the wife and Gridlock the husband?
Technically, they were not married so no, not husband and wife.
But yeah, Dino is the female and Gridlock is the dude.
And from what I see on FB, looks like the drama continues even after her death as shit is being thrown around between the husband and the mother in law.
Sad.

Is this a fact? So some of you actually knew these two in person? I find it kind of distasteful this is being discussed but curiosity is getting the better of me, sorry.
bcrdukes- since you seemed to be an impartial advocate: halp, pls. explain.

Dino is simply the person who posted this story on REDDIT VANCOUVER. Thats it -- no other relation this story.

This hit home for me. Pregnancy does all sorts of strange things to mothers. My son was an oversized premie (10lbs 2oz at 6 weeks early) due to her type 1 diabetes, spent almost 2 months in the NICU plus another year in and out of Children's from an inability to eat, including g-tube surgery, and she took it really hard. There were episodes where she would get mad at me over nothing to the point of being nonsensical, where she would drive off and return an hour later, and have no memory of what happened. This occurred during pregnancy and after. Thankfully my son got past the eating problems was she able to start to get back to herself. Motherhood and parenthood is not a cake walk and it can go south real fast. Perhaps if mental health was better understood and taken more seriously, situations like this could be prevented.
PS - Bring Dino and Grid back! Anyone worthy of the dirty.com is worthy here.

Appreciate the candid insight. That's pretty rough

Sad.
And that is just adding even more sadness to an already sad situation. Instead of focusing to support one another, drama / blame / conflict is being thrown around...

Very sad story. My wife works in maternity so she has seen development of it in some early stages with patients. It definitely hit hard for her.
I hope this helps the husband find closure. I think the only thing worse than losing your spouse like that would be living the rest of your life wondering.

Reports say that her body was found in water near Bowen Island. Her car was parked at Stanley Park, so I'm guessing she jumped into the water...

Her mom posted on FB said the police said the hiker was on a little used trail and being high tide, was able to see the body floating in the water.
