The fiancée of a dead soldier has been banned from their home on a Canadian Forces base and has been told she cannot even pick up her breast pump, baby clothes and diapers.

Sienna Potter, who is eight months pregnant, has been told that because she is not on the tenant list she is not able to return to the home she shared with Pte. Tyrell Vail at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia.

Vail’s parents, his official next of kin, are also not allowed to enter the home since Vail’s death of a suspected heart attack two weeks ago. He would have turned 26 on Thursday.

Inside are all of Potter’s possessions as well as the clothes and toys of her 18-month-old son Declan. Vail viewed the toddler as his own son, even though he wasn’t the biological father, the family says.

The military is also refusing to turn over a copy of Vail’s will even though his father Brent is named as the executor of the estate.

“Their treatment of our family has been abhorrent,” Brent Vail said in an interview. “Their lack of compassion is incredible.”
