  • Prashant Sreekumar, 44, died at Grey Nuns Hospital in Canada after waiting over 8 hours with severe chest pain.
  • He reported "15 out of 10" pain and high blood pressure, but was only given Tylenol and told chest pain wasn't acute.
  • He collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack moments after finally being called in for treatment.
  • His family, including wife Niharika and father Kumar Sreekumar, blame the hospital for negligence and delayed care.
  • The hospital is reviewing the case; MEA confirmed Prashant was a Canadian national of Indian origin.
