The parents of a 15-year-old teenager broke down in front of coroner at the time when they revealed that they asked doctors' at Princess Margaret Hospital to carry out CT scan of their son's brain, as they were aware something was wrong.

Doctors did not pay a heed to them, resultant of which Vaughn Rasmussen had to suffer painful death. Investigations revealed that Rasmussen had swelling in brain, which caused him to die. However, doctors were not able to find the problem and said that Rasmussen was suffering from gastroenteritis.

Despite repeated requests, doctors did not agree to carry out CT scan on Rasmussen. Now, his parents have claimed that due to doctors' negligence, their child is no more with them.
