In the last hours of her life, Christina Voelzing donated her organs to others who needed them, her family says.
The 24-year-old Algonquin College victimology student who was just weeks away from graduating was shot in the neck Easter Sunday morning. Through life support systems she was kept alive long enough that her organs could be donated and that family and friends from near and far could get the chance to say goodbye to the young woman.
In a statement released Wednesday morning, just hours after Voelzing’s family took her off life support and she succumbed to her injuries, her uncle Randy Booth said the family confirmed her death with “heavy hearts.”
“Life support has allowed her family and friends to say their goodbyes. The outpouring of support from friends and the community is overwhelming and much appreciated,” Booth said.
“Out of this tragedy, Christina would be very happy to know that several people will benefit from her organ donations.”
The family has requested privacy as they grieve.
Booth said that while the homicide investigation into his niece’s death continues, the family has not received any updates on the investigation.
Police continue to investigate her killing. A vehicle was seized at the scene on Sunday.
Voelzing was found unconscious inside her home at 11D Sonnet Cres. home after neighbours heard several gunshots and a loud bang around. She had no vital signs once at hospital, was revived and taken into surgery. She was kept on life support before succumbing to her injuries.

Voelzing’s is the sixth homicide of the year, the fifth to die by gunfire.
Her shooting was the 17th shooting in a year that has seen 18 reported incidents of gunfire in city limits. In 2015, police investigated the same number of shootings by mid-year.
