The teenager died by suicide less than a week after she was sent home from the emergency room at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton.
A school guidance counsellor had taken her to the hospital on Feb. 18 because she was concerned about her mental health.
After waiting more than eight hours, Daken left with a referral and without seeing a mental health professional.
