Health officials admitted their communications with the family were lacking, and the head of the regional health authority has written to the family to propose a meeting and offer support.
But she feels abandoned by the system and said she has not received a reply to a letter to the head of the health authority on Montreal's West Island.
In a statement Monday, the regional health authority that oversees the hospital in the Montreal suburb of Pointe Claire expressed its condolences to the family.
The health authority said it remains in contact wit the family but would not comment further in order not to impede its investigation.
