Despite two urgent calls made by her friend to emergency services, no medical team was dispatched.
The victim's family has filed a complaint, citing negligence in the delayed response.
An investigation is underway to determine if the lack of immediate action contributed to her death.
The Montpellier hospital has launched an internal inquiry, and the regional health agency is conducting an inspection.
