When asking for help...
On a recent thread, I briefly noted at the end that one of Hubby's CW's died on a job site recently. It was diabetic-related death.
During the course of the investigation, neighbors were interviewed, and some new and somewhat infuriating details have emerged, however.
If you're having a really good day, you may want to stop reading this now and come back later.
The site is an office building that is typically closed on weekends. They have weekend guards who basically sit in their cars and patrol around the outside every hour. The building is locked, so they just patrol the outside grounds.
Around 6am the day of the incident, the guard apparently realized he was beginning to have serious trouble. His cell phone was dead, unfortunately, and he must not have had a car charger. So he went to get help.
He went to the house across the street to get help. He knocked and someone answered the door. He told them he was having a medical emergency and to call 911.
They shut the door in his face.

He apparently made it back to his car and gave himself an insulin injection, but it was too late. At 11am, an office employee found him dead in his car. Time of death was ruled to be around 7am.
He needed help, and they shut the door in his face.
I am so infuriated and disgusted and furious about this. I know which house it is too...on weekdays I deliver to that office building, so I see that house every day (everything around them is apartments that don't face the street, so it's the only place the guard would have made it to). It was all I could do this morning when I heard the news to not go over there and pound down their door and give them a piece of my mind.
If they'd called 911 like he'd asked, there's a chance he could have gotten help in time and survived. He would have at least had a chance. But they didn't. They willfully ignored him. And now he's dead.
I'm presuming these details emerged when the house occupants were interviewed, meaning they surely must know by now the outcome of what happened. I hope to hell they feel guilty and carry this guilt with them. They knew he was in trouble. The guard flat-out told them he was diabetic and in a medical crisis. And they fucking did nothing.
I'll be in my corner fuming if anyone needs me.
