I will never stop missing you ... my heart won't stop breaking," her mother Veronica wrote on Facebook. The mother of a Coquitlam, B.C., teen who died of a suspected overdose in a Starbucks washroom says she tried to get help for her 16-year-old daughter struggling with addiction — but the public waitlists were too long and she couldn't afford private clinics. Gwynevere had told her Mom that dealers were selling fentanyl but didn't think an overdose could happen to her, her mother said. Gwynevere Staddon, who would have entered Grade 12 this fall, was found Sunday evening by a Starbucks employee in the coffee shop's washroom at 221 Ioco Rd. Veronica said she looked into getting her daughter into rehab, but publicly-funded treatment is months of waiting, and private clinics are too expensive.
