Henry Doyle, the President of the Dental Industry Association of Canada (DIAC), is being remembered as an “esteemed leader” in the dental industry after his suspicious death in BC.

On September 23, 2023, police on BC’s Sunshine Coast responded to reports of a suspicious death after a 58-year-old man was found with serious injuries on a forest service road in Egmont, BC.

Doyle, who was from Vancouver, later passed away after receiving emergency first aid.

IHIT says Doyle had travelled to the area on his dirt bike, which was found in the area.
