A coroner's inquest into the death of an Ontario teen at a provincially-run school for the blind more than three years ago is scheduled to begin next month.

Samuel Brown, who was born with a genetic condition that left him blind and deaf, attended W. Ross Macdonald School for the Blind in Brantford, Ont., and was 18 years old when he died. He lived on campus during the week and would return home on the weekends—but on Feb. 9, 2018, his parents learned that Brown would not be making the trip again.

As a result of the findings and the family's advocacy, the Ontario coroner's office agreed on May 19 to execute an inquest into the death. An ambulance report, which was provided to CTV News Toronto by the family's lawyer on the three-year anniversary of the teen's death, noted that Brown was experiencing labored breathing around 5 a.m. An hour later, staff found the teen unresponsive with vomit in his airway.Emergency crews conducted CPR until paramedics arrived and Brown was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.The inquest into Brown's death is now scheduled to begin around 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 15.
