Witness said hospital staff killed man, not fall

Read storyNegligence by hospital staff caused the death of the man who fell from the Queen's Starcase last week, according to an eyewitness.

Pastor Kevin Cooper said he ran over to the man as soon as he fell, which was around 3pm last Tuesday. The man's identity is still not known.

Cooper said blood was pouring out of the man's broken body while he called 911, eventually running to the nearby hospital.

Staff, including the doctor, seemed in no hurry to help and took their time heading to the man, Cooper said.

Paramedics came 15 minutes later, making the total amount of time after the man fell 45 minutes.

“It wasn’t the fall that was fatal," Cooper said, "it was their negligence, and slow response that killed the man.”

PMH doesnt seem to be doing a great job as far as saving lives go.. I only hope the guy wasnt rushing to the hospital to try and get help for someone else, pre-fall, that would be an unfortunate event indeed. In-deed.
