Seventeen-year-old Maya Cassady, a high school honour student in British Columbia, Canada, took her own life on 30 March 2023, just two months before her graduation. The promising teenager had recently discovered details about her mental health diagnosis through a freedom of information (FOI) request.
Her mother, Hilary Cassady, believes the tragedy could have been avoided, claiming that doctors never disclosed the diagnosis to them and that the report became the ultimate trigger.
