FREDERICTON, Canada — The New Brunswick government has asked a provincial health official from Ontario to investigate why it took an ambulance almost an hour to reach a 14-year-old boy who died before it could arrive.

“Nothing is going to bring back the life of that young boy, but I want to make sure that the community, and that family, and New Brunswickers feel safe in knowing this is not something that can ever happen again,” Health Minister Mike Murphy said Tuesday.

Cody Jones of Fredericton Junction, N.B., died April 2, reportedly from an asthma attack.
