He was the son of Gordon Charles Ortt and Edna Mable McMillan. John Allen Ortt died on 2 May 2002 at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, at age 46; Heart Failure.
     He John never married and is not known to have not fathered any children.

John was a quadreplegic as a result of a fall from a road overpass. He spent the past 17 years of his life in a wheel chair. He had an apartment in an assisted living home, operated by the Ontario March of Dimes, located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Over this 17 year period, John slowly regained some use of his arms and hands. However, the joins in his hands, wrists and elbows calcified and locked into fixed positions. Physical therapy would have resulted in his regaining more use of his arms and hands however, following his fall, a number of bones in his arms and hands were broken and calicification had already begun prior to healing.

John, in the months following his fall, had lost the desire to live. This mental state brought about a resistance to attempts to initiate physical therapy. He suffered intense pain during the sessions that were started and soon, were discontinued. John eventually regained a will to live but not before his hand, wrist and elbow joins calcified and locked into position. Surgery was considered but was ruled out after considering John's emotional / mental state of being.

His cause of death was as a result of heart failure followed by brain death. Immediate CPR was given to John as a nurse was with him when he went into cardiac arrest. The amount of time that passed between his getting EMT assistance and a lack of oxygen to his brain led him to a comatose state. He never regained consciousness and remained in a coma until death. Weeks prior to his death, John had stopped eating regular meals and his health deminished to a weakened physical state. This was probably the most likely factor which led to his deminished state of health and contributed actual cause of death.

John was interred in a grave occupied by Tom and Sadie Roberts. Tom and Sadie are the parents of Bruce Thomas Sr, John's Step-Father. John's remains are to be relocated with Bruce Sr and Edna (John's mother) once a cemetary plot is purchased upon the passing of one of them. Final interment will probably be in the Lakeview Cemetary.
