Still No Post Mortem Report for Accident Victim
--- SMMC report not submitted---
Accident Victim Martin Parades
Philipsburg: - The prosecutor’s office in St. Maarten is still not in possession of the pathologist report of Martin Parades the 55-year old garbage collector who died at the St. Maarten Medical Center on March 5th 2007, Chief Prosecutor Taco Stein told SMN News yesterday. Parades died hours after he was taken to the medical institution for treatment after he was severely injured when a private car slammed into the back of the garbage truck he was working on at the time of the accident.
SMN News have learnt from eye witnesses at the scene that the ambulance personnel arrived at the scene about 35 minutes after the first call was placed seeking assistance for the man who was bleeding profusely. SMN News also learnt that at the St. Maarten Medical Center the victim did not receive immediate treatment as personnel at the island medical institution was trying to figure out who would pay the bills for the patient.
Chief Prosecutor Taco Stein told this media house early last week that the autopsy was conducted on Thursday 8th March 2007, and that he was awaiting the report from the coroner as well as a report from SMMC to determine exactly what time the victim arrived at the hospital and what time the first sets of treatment was administered.
However, yesterday when SMN News dropped in on the Island’s Chief prosecutor for a follow up report Stein said that his office still did not receive the reports from the coroner which is suppose to outline the exact cause of death and neither did he receive the reports he requested from St. Maarten Medical Center.
Stein promised to call the coroner to see how soon she will send the reports to him, where he would be able to give a detail reports on the case.
