US influencer's ‘disgusting tweet’ on man who died at Canada hospital sparks outrage: ‘Karma will bring you…’
US influencer Andrew Branca faces backlash for “mocking” the death of an Indian man who died waiting for treatment in Canada.
US attorney and influencer Andrew Branca faced criticism for his callous and hateful remark regarding the incident involving an Indian man who died of cardiac arrest at a Canadian hospital. The man lost his life after enduring a lengthy wait for treatment. Branca, who has a history of making anti-India statements, was blasted for referring to the late man as ‘another Indian invader in Canada.’
Prashant Sreekumar, a 44-year-old man, was admitted to the Grey Nuns Community Hospital in Edmonton, Canada, on December 22 after witnessing severe chest pain while at work. However, he was left unattended for over eight hours.
According to Global News, his family reported that he was suffering from excruciating chest pain. Despite this, hospital staff informed them that the ECG results showed no significant issues, and they were made to wait. During this time, Sreekumar was administered Tylenol, yet his blood pressure continued to rise. Although nurses attempted to resuscitate him, he ultimately passed away.
