The family of a young woman who died after donating plasma in Winnipeg is calling for a new investigation into her death after finding inconsistencies between federal and provincial government reports and the woman’s autopsy record.

However, the office of Manitoba’s chief medical examiner says it supports Health Canada’s findings that the woman’s death coincided with, but did not result from, her plasma donation.

The woman, Rodiyat Alabede, was a 22-year-old University of Winnipeg student in her final year of studying social work when she died on Oct. 25, 2025.

She had been selling plasma at a Grifols collection centre on Taylor Avenue in Winnipeg. Plasma is a golden-coloured, protein-rich fluid found in blood that is used to manufacture some types of medicine.
