Astrid Dahl was convicted of failing to provide the necessaries of life in the death of 54-year-old with Down syndrome.

Girard, 54 , was found dead in Dahl’s Port Coquitlam home in October 2018 .

Dahl testified she received around $2,000 a month from the home-share program to care for Girard .

Dahl said Girard hated going to the doctor and dentist, and would have a “meltdown” ahead of appointments.

Inquest heard that Girard hadn’t seen a doctor for four years before she died.
