BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Like most states, Vermont does not keep track of how many homeless residents die or what kills them.
Seven Days and Vermont Public set out to count, for the first time, how many Vermonters have died while homeless during the past four years, by using death certificates, public obituaries, police reports, news accounts, and interviews.
Darren Perron spoke with Seven Days’ Derek Brouwer about the results of his investigation into homeless deaths.
