Do Lisa justice: Coroner

Jury deliberating

"You will render a verdict that unfortunately can not bring Lisa back, but it can be one that will serve as a lasting memory to her," Cairns said as the jury retired to deliberate after 18 days of controversial evidence.

Lisa, 10, died at the Hospital for Sick Children Oct. 22, 1998, hours after being admitted with excruciating pain from a rare syndrome that resulted from a broken leg.

The jury heard Lisa likely died of respiratory and heart failure due to an interaction between the drugs morphine and gavapentin.

Evidence indicated doctors' orders to closely monitor her vital signs were not properly heeded by nurses.

A top hospital spokesperson apologized to the family earlier this week.

Shore's family lawyer also accused the nurses involved and the hospital of trying to cover up mistakes made in the girl's death.

Crown attorney Margaret Browne urged the jury to include a recommendation asking for further study between the anti-convulsant drug gavapentin and the painkiller morphine.

The jury heard Lisa was prescribed two anti-convulsant drugs and one sedative as well as morphine.
