BC woman dies after 14-hour hospital wait, family wants someone "held accountable"

A British Columbia family is dealing with the loss of their mother a week before Christmas, and her daughter believes she’d still be alive today if not for the long wait at a hospital in Abbotsford, B.C.

Luanora Irtenkauf, 55, died Sunday night at Abbotsford Regional Hospital after being admitted for kidney stones.

Irtenkauf lived with a condition that caused her kidneys to chronically produce stones and her family said they were all familiar with the symptoms and the treatment. Her daughter said her mother began feeling unwell on Dec. 13 and a urine test showed she had an infection.

As Angela Jung reports, the family wants someone held accountable.
