The family of an Ontario teen with special needs who died after being found unresponsive at his high school is planning legal action while seeking answers following an"unimaginable tragedy," their lawyer said Friday.
“They’re obviously beside themselves,” Nisker said of the family. “It’s an unimaginable tragedy for them to experience.” Nisker said Ferris was at risk of seizures while sleeping. He said Brenda Davis, Ferris’s mother, had previously expressed concerns to the school about the teen napping and had asked that he be properly supervised.
Nisker said the family plans to launch a civil lawsuit against the school board, and seek disclosure of records and policies related to Ferris's death and care at the school. Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce called the death"an unspeakable tragedy" and extended his condolences to the family and friends of the student, as well as the entire board community.
