A young woman who survived having her legs amputated by a train has died.

Sarah Stott was struck by a train in the early hours of Dec. 8, 2014, and only discovered hours later lying near the tracks.

Both of her legs were crushed by the train, and she suffered severe frostbite.

She underwent a dozen surgeries and one leg was amputated above the hip, and the other below the knee. She also lost several fingers.

22 years old at the time, Sarah ended up moving to Ottawa to be closer to family, and the bar where she worked, the Irish Embassy, held several fundraisers on her behalf that raised more than $100,000.

This past March she told a Montreal radio station about her new car, a specially adapted vehicle that she was proud to be able to drive.

Stott was also able to live on her own, take courses, and spend time outdoors.

The Ottawa coroner's office is examining her death.

Her family says it's a private moment and do not wish to speak to the media.
