B.C. man's death led to housing law reforms as family seeks answers

The killing of Keith Scott in a Victoria supportive housing building last year helped drive changes to British Columbia's tenancy laws, but his family says the case remains unsolved and they still do not know who is responsible. Scott was found dead after firefighters responded to a fire at the Waterview building on Gorge Road. Police have not publicly released his cause of death, and his relatives say they believe he was shot and then set on fire. The investigation remains with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit. The death prompted calls from supportive housing operators for stronger powers to deal with weapons, trespassers, and violence in shared buildings. Those calls led to Bill 11, which the province says will help keep weapons out of supportive housing and allow quicker action against problematic tenants. Scott's family says that progress offers little comfort while they wait for charges and answers.
