So I at the emergency room, He was laughing and kinda joking because they gave him the IV, and we were trying to cheer him up.
2:35:49
And then just went into cardiac arrest.
2:35:51
The machines didn't go off.
2:35:53
And so clearly, there's something was wrong.
2:35:56
We were behind the curtain because they were changing him, his pad.
2:36:03
Everyone's still quiet and everyone all the doctors, they refused to talk to me.
2:36:07
I was begging them, what just happened?
2:36:09
What just happened?
2:36:10
So I don't know.
2:36:11
They went on protection mode, and that's something I'm fighting for as well.
2:36:15
But apparently, methodist hospital.
2:36:17
It's a thing there.
2:36:18
I'm just finding out.
2:36:20
But, yes, no one has given me they didn't even I was asking for, where do I sign up for an autopsy?
2:36:25
They ignored me.
2:36:26
I finally was able hours later to get request an autopsy, and it's now been almost two and a half months.
2:36:34
I haven't received it yet.
