An Ontario coroner has granted a discretionary inquest to examine the circumstances of a teen’s death after he went to a hospital in the province in agonizing pain, waited hours to receive care and later died of sepsis and pneumonia.

The decision was recently shared by a local coroner with the family of 16-year-old Finlay van der Werken.
