Utah student at ‘world class’ boarding school died of sepsis after complaints were ignored: lawyer

A 17-year-old student at a “therapeutic boarding school” in Utah died of sepsis after school staff ignored her health complaints, according to recent autopsy results and a lawsuit filed on behalf of the deceased student and her family.
