'Fighting until the last minute': Young mother dies one week after getting married in Montreal hospital

A woman who was married in a Montreal hospital room on Christmas Day has died, one week after the intimate and emotional ceremony took place.

Bedard and her groom Daves Lachance were parents to seven children, the youngest, a baby, about seven-months old. 

For all those months, since immediately after the birth, Bedard had been undergoing in-patient treatment for an aggressive form of ovarian cancer at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC).

Lachance was by her side during her final moments on Jan. 1. He said he is still in a state of shock.

“My children are keeping me together. I haven’t accepted it really yet,” Lachance told CTV News during a phone interview after he’d put “his babies to bed.”
