Dan Hartman is father of Sean Hartman. source
Sean Hartman died 2021-09-27 at age 17. He was vaccinated on 2021-08-25, a difference of 33 days.source
Sean Hartman died 33 days after receiving a first dose of Pfizer vaccine. An autopsy is reported to have found an enlarged heart but no myocarditis. The pathology is inconsistent with known side effects of Pfizer vaccination.
Mr. Hartman is quoted as stating "So on August 25, he had the Pfizer vaccine. And on August 29, he went to the emergency [room]—he had brown circles around his eyes, and a rash and he was vomiting," source "They sent him home with only Advil. The doctor didn’t do two blood tests that he should have done. I’ve been told by another doctor that he should have done them. And on the morning of September 27, he was found dead on the floor beside his bed." source
Mr. Hartman announced on Twitter that the autopsy results reported the cause of death as "UNASCERTAINED" on 2021-12-27. https://twitter.com/Answers4Sean/status/1475448749010862085
On 2022-01-17 Mr. Hartman testified before the Toronto Board of Health. In his testimoney he stated that his son received a first dose of Pfizer vaccine 2021-08-25. He was taken to emergency on 2021-08-29 having a rash on his neck and face, and brown circles around his eyes. He was sent home and given a prescription for Advil. He was found dead on September 27 next to his bed. Conditions between August 29 and September 27 were not described. Mr. Hartman also stated that the autopsy found a slightly enlarged heart but no myocarditis. An anonomous but "well known" pathologist in Canada reviewed the autopsy report and claims that the vaccine caused the death. He did not explain how the anonymous pathologist made this determination. source
In 2023 July, American pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, a prolific spreader of vaccine misinformation, determined that Sean died due to the vaccine. Mr. Hartman says that Cole examined his tissues and found spike protein in his adrenal glands, and claimed that "The adrenal glands control your blood pressure, so if Sean's blood pressure dropped, he would have died." source source2
Hartman released a portion of a letter from Dr. Ryan Cole, where he said "Having reviewed numerous spike protein related deaths, personally and with colleagues in Europe, it is my opinion that the findings, so far, are sufficient to indicate the mRNA vaccine was significantly contributory, or outright causative, in this unexpected, sudden death of an otherwise previously healthy adolescent male, given no other obvious genetic, toxicologic, or pre-existing disease findings." source WARNING: Dr. Ryan Cole is a prolific spreader of anti-vaccine misinformation.
It is unclear if there is any reason to susect that the 2021-08-29 emergency room visit circumstances were related to either vaccination or the later death. The state of Sean's health between 2021-08-29 and 2021-09-27 is also unknown. The basis for the anonymous pathologist's determination of causation has not been found by this author.
Vaccination was a requirement of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and under the Health Care Consent Act, a minor can get vaccinated without parental consent, which he did.
Mr. Hartman is not eligible for compensation under VICP because there is insufficient evidence connecting the death to vaccination. (This is disputed by Mr. Hartman who has worked with Dr. Peter McCullough, a prolific spreader of anti-vaccine misinformation, and an anonumous pathologist in Canada)
A fundraiser for Mr. Hartman on GiveSendGo states that "In recognition of Dr. McCullough's dedication to the pursuit of public health, a portion of the donations received will be directed to his charitable foundation, the McCullough Foundation." https://www.givesendgo.com/GAWYX
Understandably, Mr. Hartman wants to know what caused his son's death. Unfortunately, the cause of health problems are not always precisely known.
“I cannot grieve him properly without the truth. It’s different if someone dies in a car accident or disease or suicide. This is none of them—this is unknown,” said Hartman in an interview on NTD’s “The Nation Speaks” program aired on 2022-07-30. https://www.ntd.com/devastated-dad-seeks-truth-about-vaccines-medical-boards-sued-for-threatening-doctors_816915.html
On 2023-07-26, Hartman announced that he had retained lawyers Umar Sheikh (X: @uasind) and Angela Wood to take legal action.
On 2023-09-27, Hartman initiated two lawsuits, one against Pfizer and BioNTech, and the other against the government of Canada. source
In the lawsuit against Pfizer, Hartman claims damages of $35,550,000.

Neither statement of claim contains anything remarkable. Basically just claiming that the vaccine is not safe and that the companies and government didn't do their due diligence.
On 2024-02-18, Hartman suggested that the Canadian government offered to waive all legal costs if he withdraws the lawsuit now. source In Canada, the winner of a civil proceeding is typically awarded the recovery of their legal costs, to be paid by the losing party. Two days later, Harman confirmed that he had declined the offer. source. Unfortunately, this means that when Hartman loses the lawsuit (which is a near certainty since he has no convincing evidence to support any of his claims), he will be liable not only to pay his own legal costs, but those of the government as well.
As reported by Rebel News, "Hartman shared in an X space that government lawyers responded to his lawsuit, claiming he has “no reasonable prospect of success” and offered to waive costs and disbursements if he withdrew litigation." source
2021-10-06 Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit Medical Officer of Health briefing with Dr. Charles Gardner:
"I would also like to acknowledge that we have been made aware of a youth who passed away suddenly and I would very much like to express my condolences to the family for your loss. This is truly very sad. And this individual had received a dose of vaccination more than a month before passing away, and there was nothing in the history or medical record to suggest an adverse reaction of significance or myocarditis despite what may be portrayed on social media. We are following with the chief coroners office in that investigation. It will take several weeks to complete the investigation. An autopsy has been performed. And there is nothing in the investigation to date to suggest that there is a causal association with that person having received immunization and his unfortunate passing. But if in fact we learn something different with regards to that we certainly would communicate that to the public. But I think at this time I would certainly like to reiterate my condolences to the family members. Such a sad thing to have a young person pass away suddenly like this. This is a rare even that does occasionally rarely happen, and the investigations that are required to help determine exactly what happened are taking place. Otherwise, I would urge the people to respect the need and right of this family for privacy." (transcribed from video)
