The 25-year-old died while undergoing treatment after he ran to the Andrews Memorial Hospital following the incident.
Speaking on the incident, his aunt, artiste manager and booking agent Sharon Burke, took to social media to share that the tragedy could have easily been avoided.
“Show me a man who was more humble grateful and driven.i lost my nephew while in a $100 taxi on hope road when the driver decided he-wanted $200 instead.Knife straight to the heart of a hard working optimistic 25year old,” she wrote.
“Got the call at4:12 pm yesterday reached Andrews around 4:45 was advised by dr it went straight to the heart. We were advised they could not operate, it was too severe he needed to be moved. We had been begging Andrews to be transferred from when. Around 45 mins later ambulance reaches, now we are told he won’t make it. Took them another 40 mins for dr to arrive who could operate. This young man future was looking dull. Went and got a top Cardiologist to advise. They weren’t having it.”
