For months, the Carlins have pushed the Ontario Coroner's Office to conduct an inquest into the death of their 18-year-old daughter. Last week that request was finally granted. "This is what we feel needs to happen in order for Sara's story to be told so we can really understand what happened to her," said Rhonda. "I think we are starting down a good path here, but it's going to be a long one. I really believe good will come from this. That's what we want." The build up to this moment stretches back to Sunday, May 6, 2007 when Sara hanged herself in the basement of her family home. The parents blame her death on the apparent side effects of a powerful anti-depressant drug, Sara, a graduate of St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Secondary School and an Ontario Scholar, was described by her parents as a beautiful and intelligent woman of limitless potential. She was an accomplished athlete who excelled at her part-time job and was looking forward to finishing university so she could pursue a career as a dermatologist. All this changed, according to her Sara Carlin Inside Real Estate.................................................17 Artscene......................................................30 Worship.......................................................34 Sports..........................................................35 Classified.....................................................37 Full Delivery: Sport Chek, Metro Canada, The Bay, Canadian Tire, Food Basics, Superstore, No Frills, Sobeys, Zellers Partial Delivery: Mississauga Booster, Price Chopper, Home Hardware, Sears, Fortino's, Active Adult, Wal-Mart, The Source, Payless Shoes For home delivery & customer service call (905) 845-9742 Mon., Tues. and Thurs. 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Wed. 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Fri. 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Sat 10 a.m.-3 p.m. NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS call (905) 845-9742 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com See inside today's paper for special subscription offer.
