From UTV News (June 10):
On Thursday, Irish eyes were not smiling when a 15-year-old was found dead in Newtownards park. Some argue the handwriting was on the wall as the troubled teen had been in several care facilities prior to her passing.
The community is mourning her untimely death and asking who is at fault. "I believe there needs to be a corporate examination into what happened...This is a corporate ownership" one man said.
The Northern Ireland care facility is launching an inquiry to determine whether they should revise their screening policies. Community members believe a lax policy allowing residents to travel off the property may be to blame. The controversial rule is meant to reward residents who pose a lower risk to themselves and others may soon change.
In her death the teen still brings pleasant memories to those who were around her. "I found her to be a real live wire, a really funny wee girl...she would have lit up any room" a facility recalls. A postmortem examination revealed the young woman died from inhaling butane.
