When Sara Manitoski was found dead on an overnight school trip in March 2017, friends and family were left wondering what exactly happened to the normally healthy 16-year-old. More than a year later, the coroner has finally determined the cause of her death: toxic shock syndrome.
On March 14, 2017, Manitoski said she was not feeling well and had menstrual cramps during the Georges P. Vanier Secondary School’s trip to British Columbia’s Hornby Island, reported Newsweek.
She was “heard breathing rapidly and shallowly in the middle of the night for a short period of time and then stopped,” according to the British Columbia Coroners Service report.
When the 11th grader’s roommates woke up in the morning, they thought their classmate was simply asleep and went to get breakfast without her. After eating, they went back to the room and heard Manitoski’s phone alarm going off yet she was not stirring. That’s when school staff was alerted.
