St. Louis, February 5 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Missouri, a 39-year-old Black father died in the parking lot of a hospital after repeatedly being denied treatment. David Bell was turned away twice from the Barnes-Jewish Hospital days before his death despite reporting severe chest pain.
On January 12th, he was denied proper treatment for a third time and died minutes later as his wife pushed him back to their car in a wheelchair. David Bell was a father of three and worked as board director at the local fire and rescue center.
